'I'd stake my reputation on it. These photographs are not faked.' But how could photographs, taken on a simple camera by two Yorkshire village girls, have momentous implications for man's understanding of the world?

In 1918 Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, his wife, son and four daughters were summarily assassinated. In 1992 the bodies were unearthed only to discover that the remains of two family members were missing - Alexei and Anastasia. Persistent rumors of Anastasia's escape have circulated after her death. This documentary examines the possibility that Anastasia may have survived the brutal assassination.
