SOULEYMANE’S STORY
Dir Boris Lojkine | France | 2024 | 93 mins | Rating TBC | French, Fulah, Malinka

In Paris, Guinean immigrant Souleymane works all hours as a food delivery rider, trying to make ends meet while applying for asylum. While he’s surrounded by a seemingly supportive community of fellow Africans, everyone’s help comes at a price. Unable to work legally he must pay someone else half his delivery earnings to use their account, while another acquaintance gives him questionable advice on getting through his upcoming immigration interview – for a price. And so we follow Souleymane through the night as he rehearses his story. The interview is in just two days, but will he be ready?

Abou Sangare, Alpha Oumar Sow, Nina Meurisse
