Film (PRETTY LITTLE THINGS)

Okwe (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a Nigerian who drives a cabin London during the day and mans the front desk of a hotel by night — chewingkhat (a stimulant) to keep awake. Formerly a doctor in Africa, he is pressedinto giving medical aid to other poor immigrants — including fellow cab driverswith venereal diseases.

Okwe shares an apartment with Senay (Audrey Tautou), aTurkish woman who works as a maid in the same hotel. The two immigrants form ahesitant friendship, but their situation becomes untenable when immigrationpolice begin to pursue her. She quits the hotel and takes a job in a clothingsweatshop, where the owner forces her, a virgin, to perform oral sex upon himunder threat of reporting her. After initially enduring this humiliation, shebites his genitals and flees both the factory and her apartment — taking refugein a morgue with a friend of Okwe's.

The manager of the hotel, Juan (Sergi López), runs anillegal operation at the hotel where immigrants sell a kidney in exchange forpassports with new identities. Learning of Okwe's past as a doctor, he pressures him to harvest kidneys, buthe refuses.In desperation, Senay agreesto exchange a kidney for a passport.Juan forces her to have sex with him before permitting her to undergo theoperation. Upon learning of Senay's plan, Okwe tells Juan that he will performthe operation to ensure her safety.
