  • Dirty Pretty Things
    Okwe (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a Nigerian who drives a cab in London during the day and mans the front desk of a hotel by night — chewing khat (a stimulant) to keep awake. Formerly a doctor in Africa, he is pressed into giving medical aid to other poor immigrants — including fellow cab drivers with venereal diseases.

    Okwe shares an apartment with Senay (Audrey Tautou), a Turkish Muslim woman who works as a maid in the same hotel. The two immigrants form a hesitant friendship, but their situation becomes untenable when immigration police begin to pursue her. She quits the hotel and takes a job in a clothing sweatshop, where the owner forces her, a virgin, to perform oral sex upon him under threat of reporting her. After initially enduring this humiliation, she bites his genitals and flees both the factory and her apartment — taking refuge in a morgue with a friend of Okwe's.

    cast:

    # Chiwetel Ejiofor - Okwe
    # Audrey Tautou - Senay
    # Sophie Okonedo - Juliette
    # Sergi López - Sneaky (Juan)
