On Christmas Eve in London died in childbirth a young Russian woman, very young, almost adolescent. In the hands of midwife Anna is a baby and diary, which she found in the things of a girl. Anna is terrified of her life story and begins her own investigation, which leads directly into the lair of the Russian mafia. So she met with Nicholas, who helps her to sort out this confusing story. Anna did not realize that her new friend - brutal and mysterious killer, which is owned by one of the Russian gangs in London, and the facts, described in the diary compromise his boss. It is a powerful and extraordinary film from one of the most unusual directors. After "A History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises", many thought that Cronenberg has sold himself to mass, commercial movie, but it is not true. His work is like a youthful impulsiveness and experienced perfectionism and become more mature, profound. Post-modern techniques do not seem to surprise and shock, but now they are within the meaning of the film. Given that the essence of creativity of Cronenber remained the same: fear, the subconscious mind, monstrous metamorphosis, violence. Just before metamorphosis was physical, but now, mental and spiritual. His films are oppressed, shocking and thought-provoking. In fact, Cronenberg and now shoots horror films, just so thin that they look like a drama, thriller and action film class "B" at one time.
