Dirty Pretty Things (2002)
Sobre o filme
Nigerian Okwe is living in London illegally. In the daytime, he drives a taxi, and at night, he works as a hotel receptionist. He shares a flat with another illegal immigrant, Senay, a Turkish girl who works as a maid and is secretly in love with him. One day Okwe finds a human heart in a bathroom of one of the rooms in the hotel. From a friend who works in a hospital morgue, he learns that many immigrants will give up a kidney to obtain British citizenship. He begins to feel suspicious that the hotel manager, Sneaky, a Spaniard, is connected to the traffic in human organs. When she realizes this, Senay comes to an agreement with Sneaky: she will sell him a kidney in exchange for two passports. With the passports, she intends to travel to New York, a former dream. Okwe, who has undergone the surgery and regretted doing so, tries to impede mutilation of his friend and offers to be operated in her place.
