When a young Russian girl dies during childbirth, midwife Anna Khitrova (Naomi Watts) sets out to uncover the girl's mysterious origins. The girl's diary leads Anna, herself of Russian descent, to the lavish Trans-Siberia restaurant, a front for the unspeakably brutal Vory Z Zakone brotherhood. Barely recognisable, Mortensen has penetrated so deeply under his character's heavily tattooed skin that every verbal tic and facial expression is completely convincing.
