What is Eastern Promises about?

A Russian teenager living in London dies during childbirth but leaves clues in her diary that could tie her child to a rape involving a violent Russian mob family.

Eastern Promises is a 2007 gangster crime thriller film directed by David Cronenberg and written by Steven Knight. Starring Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, Vincent Cassel, and Armin Mueller-Stahl, the film follows Anna Khitrova (Watts), a Russian-British midwife who delivers the baby daughter of a drug-addicted 14-year-old Russian prostitute named Tatiana. After Tatiana dies in childbirth, Anna reads the girl's diary and discovers that she was trafficked by the Russian Mafia in London. When Semyon (Mueller-Stahl), the leader of the mobsters and the owner of the Trans-Siberian Restaurant, threatens the baby's life, Anna is warned off by both his immature son, Kirill (Cassel), and his menacing bodyguard and driver, Nikolai Luzhin (Mortensen).
