Souleymane's Story (12A)

Boris Lojkine’s award-winning portrait of a modern migrant propels us into the precarious world of an otherwise invisible man. 

Every second of Souleymane’s (Abou Sangaré) life in France is precious. Having fled Guinea, his asylum interview looms. Powering through the streets of nighttime Paris as a delivery rider, sleeping in hostels, pressure builds as his date with destiny approaches. 

Steeped in compassion, Souleymane’s Story combines the dynamic pace of a thriller with the emotional gut punch of a social drama, boosted by a star-making performance from newcomer Sangaré.
