ANASTASIA

FADE IN:



on a well-worn PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM. An ELDERLY WOMAN'S

HAND touched the album, caressing it lovingly for a

moment, as WE HEAR her voice.
                       TATIANA (O.C.)

          Once we lived in an enchanted

world. . .
She opend the ALBUM to reveal a BLACK AND WHITE

PHOTOGRAPH of the PALACE AT ST. PETERSBERG on a

brilliant summer day.
                       TATIANA (CONT)

          A world of Tsars and Princesses

and elegant palaces. . .
CAMERA MOVES CLOSER TO the picture. . .
                       TATIANA (CONT)

          and grand parties. . .
The PHOTO dissolves into REALITY in brilliant color as

the day turns into night and the summer cools into

winter. We see the palace at night, blanketed in a

beautiful, almost glowing, snow as hourse drawn carriages

pull up to the front door.
                       TATIANA (CONT)

          A beautiful, magical time. . .
MOVE INTO THE PALACE
