As revolutionaries besiege the palace, Marie and Anastasia escape through a secret passageway, aided by 10-year-old servant boy Dimitri.

Elsewhere, an 18-year-old Anastasia (now called “Anya”) leaves the rural orphanage where she grew up, and begins a search for her family with her necklace as the only clue she has to finding them. Accompanied by a stray puppy she names Pooka, she decides to head to Paris, inspired by the inscription on her necklace, but finds herself unable to leave the Soviet Union without an exit visa. An old woman advises her to see Dimitri at the abandoned palace; there, the two men are impressed by Anya’s resemblance to the “real” Anastasia, and decide to take her with them to Paris, completely unaware of her identity.
