Hanna (Ronan) is a teenage girl. Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a soldier; these come from being raised by her father (Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland. Living a life unlike any other teenager, her upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Ms. Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.

Hanna Kroeger is recognized worldwide as having been an expert in herbs and natural healing.

This spry and cheerful woman, who lived well into her eighties, remained remarkably active - inspecting herbal blends, working on books, and corresponding with other herbalists and alternative therapists.
She was born the daughter of German-Christian missionaries who traveled and worked throughout Europe. With few medical resources, they dedicated their lives to taking care of orphans and the infirmed. She continued her nursing education at the University of Freiburg and began work as an intern for the noted Doctor Brauchle of Dresden. She learned from the master - the restorative powers of herbs that had been buried by modern medicine. This served her during the war when medicines became rare - Hanna, as mother and nurse, embodied resourcefulness.
