Tarnished

It is 2011, and Anastasia is on a routine outing with her granddaughter when tensions come to a boil. The catalyst of the argument forces her to reflect on the winding road that lead her to the life that she now lives as an old woman. She remembers a time in her life when she was not Anastasia, but Tasya... In the spring of 1942, Tasya is a young girl living with her mother in a Ukrainian village on the Polish border. Her sister, Kateryna, has recently returned from working in Germany, which sets off events that will shape Tasya’s life forever. Forced to work in Germany as a labourer, Tasya must grow up quickly in order to survive in the midst of the German war-machine. Spanning seven decades, Tarnished is a story about identity, survival, family history, and the precariousness of relationships.
