Undocumented immigrants Okwe (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Senay (Audrey Tautou) work at a posh London hotel and live in constant fear of deportation. One night, Okwe stumbles across evidence of a bizarre murder, setting off a series of events that could lead to disaster -- or freedom. This gritty, complex thriller from director Stephen Frears received an Oscar nod for its screenplay.
It started like a lot of movies, ended like a lot of them... But perhaps it went beyond what the story usually is. Human organs trafficking is usually the plot for a thriller or an horror movie. In this case, despite the fact that there is a real clear suspense, it goes far beyond, depicting a social issue, the rules of a game that is not that far from our reality, invisible to our eyes, definitely real. And within this context, there are two characters, sensitive, tired, trying to survive in a system that is rejecting them. It is tough, emotional, beautiful and somehow, a beautiful story of friendship.
