Actually, Jan is a crook, dealing in immigrant labour for the burgeoning construction industry and not much minding what happens to them as long as he gets well paid. He falls for Anna (Alexis Raben) and slowly but surely realises that he has to do something about the corruption he discovers. He even has the gall to dump the Jag in a lake.

Lees’s small-budget independent film paints an accurate enough picture of the London of illegal immigrants. He is helped by an able cast and a cinematographer, in Adam Jepperssen, who manages to look at the city through the eyes of those being so miserably exploited.

Outlanders is not sure whether it is a love story, a thriller or a portrait of the seamy side of the capital before the credit crunch sent so many Polish workers home. We’ve seen it all done before years ago in Jerzy Skolimowski’s Moonlighting. But if this isn’t nearly as stylish, its authenticity is beyond doubt.
