| Eastern Promises synopsis |
| |
In the film, Anna Khitrova (Naomi Watts), a midwife at a London hospital, finds a Russian-language diary on the body of a Tatiana, a fourteen-year-old girl who dies in childbirth. She also finds a card for the Trans-Siberian restaurant, which is owned by Semyon (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a boss in the Russian Mafia or vory v zakone (”thieves in law”). Anna thus sets out to track down the girl’s family so that she can find a home for the dead mother’s baby girl. Anna’s mother Helen (Sinead Cusack) does not discourage her, but Anna’s Russian-born uncle Stepan (Jerzy Skolimowski), whom Anna asks for help with translation of the diary, urges caution. Through Semyon and her uncle, Anna comes to learn that Semyon and his unstable son, Kirill (Vincent Cassel), had abused her and forced her into prostitution, and that Semyon had raped the girl.
Semyon’s driver is the Russian-born Nikolai Luzhin (Viggo Mortensen), who also serves as the family’s “cleaner”, dumping dead bodies in the River Thames. Nikolai’s star rises within the vory, due in part to Nikolai’s protection of Semyon’s bumbling son who has authorized a hit on a rival Chechen vory leader. The hit was not approved by Semyon and was ill-advised with the Chechen gang now coming to London to seek vengeance. Semyon, afraid for his son’s safety, hatches a plan. Semyon arranges to give “Kirill” up to the Chechens, but at the same time makes Nikolai a full member of the vory, with their distinctive tattoos. A meeting is arranged at the Russian baths, and the Chechens are led to believe that the tatooed Nikolai is actually Kirill. The Chechens attack Nikolai (believing that he is Kirill), but Nikolai is able to kill them both, ending up in the hospital with severe wounds as the result. |
