Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A 2002 British thriller focusing on the lives of immigrants in London, directed by Stephen Frears and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Audrey Tautou. Okwe (Ejiofor) is an illegal immigrant from Nigeria who was a doctor in his native country but had to flee under mysterious circumstances to London. There, he supports himself by working as a cab driver by day and a hotel desk clerk by night, chewing khat leaves to stay awake throughout his long shifts. He rents a couch from one of his coworkers at the hotel, Senay (Tautou), a Turkish woman who, though she is in the United Kingdom legally, is forbidden to work under her status as an asylum seeker. His other acquaintances include Ivan (Zlatko Buric), a burly Russian who works as the doorman for the hotel, Juliette (Sophie Okonedo), a lower class English prostitute who meets her clients there, and Guo Yi (Benedict Wong), a Chinese doctor who works in a hospital mortuary and supplies Okwe with prescription drugs for the other illegals employed at his taxi company on the sly. Overseeing operations at the hotel is Juan (Sergi Lopez), a suave but shady Spaniard with his fingers in all manner of sleazy goings-on. |
