Synopsis

Dirty Pretty Things is an urban thriller in which an African night porter enlists the help of a prostitute, a chambermaid and a mortuary technician to solve a bizarre murder. Set in a world of asylum seekers that lies behind the familiar urban metropolis. It is a tale of two cities, both of them in London.

Pietter Okwe is a doctor who was framed for murder in Libreville and now scrapes a living in London, driving mini-cabs and working as a night-porter in a West End tourist hotel. When he discovers a human heart in one of the hotel rooms he knows that as an illegal alien working without papers he cannot ask too many questions. Okwe struggles with his sense of injustice as evidence emerges that the hotel is being used to remove human organs from third world donors. Finally, with the aid of a Turkish chambermaid, a hooker and a Chinese mortuary technician, he investigates the murder and enforces a bizarre poetic kind of justice. Dirty Pretty Things explores a Dickensian landscape of rag trade sweat shops, hotel kitchens and mini-cab venues in a London that most Londoners never see.

When he invites her to his country home, she doubts his intentions, and insists her Spanish friend, Carlos, comes along for the ride. All Julian wants is to sort out his pregnant sister and avoid an unfortunate family embarrassment. Jade just wants to cement her dubious relationship with Julian and spend Christmas at a country estate.

Unfortunately Carlos wants to cement Julian's sister, along with every other female they come across. And when Carlos laces pig farmer Carl Sykes' little sister, Sam, full of Class A's you can guarantee life for all involved will never be the same.

Synopsis

SW9, Brixton. Nowhere else in Britain has such a diversity of characters. Nowhere else has the madness of a true street culture. Riots, Guns, Drugs. These are the ingredients of the old Brixton. Throw in yuppies, clubbers, scammers, Internet Anarchists and Britain's most 'kicking' clubs and this is the new Brixton. Vibrant, Colourful, Exotic. South West Nine is the first movie to take a roller-coaster ride through this extraordinary square mile.

Five very different characters are thrown together in one weird, mashed up day. It started out just like any other, but 24 hours later everything had changed.

South West Nine takes you through the widescreen of the new millennium. The death of idealism, capitalism, religion and hippies. Even the drugs don't work any more. The 'summer of love' generation have come down and they're ready to riot. Seattle, Stockholm, Paris, Genoa. May Day Riots. Disunited Kingdom. The Internet is informing today's youth about the behaviour of the multinationals. And they're not happy. Punchy, provocative with a healthy dose of cynical humour. It's all kicking off.
