Synopsis

Dirty Pretty Things tells the story of Okwe, an irregular Nigerian immigrant struggling to survive in London's underground.

He works as a hotel receptionist by night and practices medicine during the day in a very odd way, using his medical degree.

Okwe must constantly evade Immigration officers while trying to make ends meet.

One day, he discovers that his boss at the hotel, Juan, is leading an illegal scheme of surgeries.

Juan offers Okwe a tempting proposal: if he agrees to perform the illegal surgeries, he will make a lot of money and gain legal citizenship in the U.K.

The central question of the film is whether Okwe can keep his moral values intact while facing this difficult decision.
