Synopsis
Racing through the streets of Paris making food deliveries on his bicycle, Guinean immigrant Souleymane is struggling to stay afloat. In two days, he has to report for an asylum application interview, where he must plead his case to an immigration officer who will determine his future in France. As he rides, he repeats his story. But Souleymane is not ready. Drawing inspiration from Cristian Mungiu’s 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and evoking the humanist films of the Dardennes, Boris Lojkine’s urgent, propulsive third feature never leaves Souleymane’s side in a deeply affecting account of the daily trials and uncertain futures faced by migrants in France and around the world.
