The movie features a fantasy adventure story, with a touch of romance and humor, set against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution. The story begins in 1916 St. Petersburg, where Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna gives her youngest granddaughter, Anastasia Nikolaevna, a music box and necklace with the words "Together in Paris" before they are separated during the revolution.
