So, let me see if I have this correct (HUGE SPOILERS - Blacked Out)...

Alright, let me compare notes with others and see if I have this correct....

Schreiber (sp) and German mother/prostitute had Solange during the war. Schreiber and his current wife had tattoo artist Nastya; which makes Solange and Nastya half-sisters.

Albert and Solange had Adrien. So this would make Nastya the half-aunt and half-sister to Adrien, as well as being his sometimes lover. Correct?

Also, I wonder why the younger actress portraying Solange was switched out in later episodes and even in the later flashbacks and if this was done to portray Solange as completely different from Albert's story of her. Sort of a way to show she was being described as a person with completely different behaviors.

Just finished watching - wow, what a show!

In answer to your questions, Nastya is Adrien's aunt (half if you want to be technical 🙂), but not his half sister.

Regarding the original Solange, there were no pictures of her anywhere. It was, I believe, Adrien's perception of what she might have looked like as Albert was telling their story. Once it was confirmed who she really was, the character looked as she did in real life, which was portrayed by a different actress.

Who was Adrien's mother? Wasn't Solange his mother? If so, then that would make Adrien and the tattoo artist half-siblings, right? Also, I'm still surprised this show is not receiving more attention.

Adrien's mother is Solange, so her (half) sister, Nastya, is Adrien's (half) aunt.

I agree with you 100%. I don't understand why this isn't getting more attention. Not only this, though. I've seen a few other fantastic shows and movies that not many are talking about, for example The Wrath of God, I Came By, Intimacy, The Chalk Line. A couple more but the titles escape me at the moment.
