Souleymane's Story

The film took Cannes by storm, where it premiered and won three awards, is one of the most impressive films of the year, and is one of the biggest box office successes in France (nearly half a million viewers have already seen it in cinemas). Abou Sangare has just been crowned Best Actor at the European Awards.

Boris Lojkine's new film, a kind of social thriller, follows two days in the life of Souleymane, a courier who delivers food at home in Paris and sleeps in homeless support centers, until the interview that will decide whether or not to legalize his immigrant status in France. It's a work that fights indifference and makes us see the many Souleymanes we come across cycling fast through the city, bringing food to our homes and offices. − Medeia Filmes
