Okwe (Chiwetel Ejofor) was an illegal immigrant from Africa who worked in the Baltic Hotel in London. His identity remained a secret in the eyes of his employer Sneaky (Sergi Lopez). Senay (Audrey Tautou), an asylum seeker from Turkey working illegally in the same hotel, provided accommodation for him illegally. One night, Okwe found a human heart blocking the toilet bowl of one of the rooms. Because of his status, he did not dare to call the police. He later discovered that Sneaky was involved in some organ trading taking place inside the hotel. Senay was suspected by the immigration officers that she was working illegally. As she had no way to support herself, she agreed to trade her kidney for a fake passport. Okwe decided to make sure she would be fine…

As reported in a news program just a few months ago, asylum seeking had become a huge problem in the United Kingdom. Many asylum seekers were not really eligible for asylum, but they stayed in UK anyway. They are not allowed to work for 6 months when their applications are still being processed. All they are given is a place to live. Usually they have no money and so that have to work illegally. As a result, many of them were taken advantage of by the employers and other people. Senay was just in that position.

The film portrays of lives of the asylum seekers and illegal immigrants in London. They live very different lives than most residents of the beautiful city. They are always oppressed. They can barely survive. They are taken advantage of all the time… And as in the story, some of them had to trade their organs for a fake citizenship. The film is successful in making the audience feel how these people feel and have pity on them. Definitely, Chiwetel Ejofor and Audrey Tautou had played an important part of the success in this area.
