A volley of gunshots, the family rising, falling, exploding,
caroming in slow motion in their white clothes, jewels
spilling out.

ANOTHER ANGLE SLOW MOTION
FEATURING CHEKA GUARDS

They shoot coldly, blankly.
INSERT SLOW MOTION

The naked light bulb swinging in clouds of blue smoke.
It slows.

SOUND

SILENCE. Then: a MOAN.

CLOSE ANASTASIA SLOW MOTION
Bloodied, ANASTASIA rises.

MEDIUM FEATURING THE RISING ANASTASIA

A CHEKA butts her chin with his gunstock. She falls. He
raises his bayonet.
CLOSE ANASTASIA’S WHITE HIGH-TOP SHOE
SLOW MOTION

GUARD bayonets her foot through her white high-top
shoe.
CLOSE ANASTASIA’S UNCONSCIOUS
AND BLOODIED FACE

SLOW CLOSE UP KARKOV
