PlotAs a girl in Moscow, Anna is discovered by a scout from a modeling agency, who opens the door to a more fulfilling life in Paris. However, she is later recruited by the KGB and trained as an assassin under the instructions of Olga (Helen Mirren). Anna is haunted by her past, ties with an abusive boyfriend when she was a street vendor, and her desperate desire to escape the intense life she's been born into.
In Paris, she continues to lead a double life-- prospering as both a well known style model and a contracted killer. Her appeal and youth become her weapons, enabling her to navigate through her functions without exciting suspicion.
ProblemsAnna's life ends up being more made complex when she falls for Alex Tchenkov, a non-corrupt KGB operative who is unware of her secret activity. In spite of this, she must still maintain her dedication to the KGB, performing various deadly tasks, consisting of a high-stakes assassination at a dining establishment.
On the other hand, her activities capture the attention of the CIA, specifically the scrutinizing look of agent Leonard Miller (Cillian Murphy), who attempts to charm her over to the American side.
