A strange and gripping thriller it takes place on the side of London that the tourist never sees, set in London’s secret underworld, where everything is for sale. Unusually for a mainstream drama, the story unfolds through the eyes of an illegal immigrant, Okwe (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Nigerian who balances his work as a minicab driver with a second job as a receptionist at a less than respectable hotel. Struggling to earn a living, Okwe shares a flat with a proud Turkish asylum-seeker named Senay (Audrey Tautou), who works as a maid alongside him at the same hotel - a breeding ground for illegal activity. The delicate balance of Okwe's life is overturned, however, when he makes a shocking discovery in one of the rooms and uncovers a callous underworld that threatens to consume the person closest to him. They can’t report it to their corrupt boss. They can’t go to the police. And they’ll be lucky if they get out alive. |
