Souleymane's Story
Directed by Boris Lojkine
Produced by UNITÉ
An intimate portrait of an undocumented immigrant's precarious existence in Paris, built around the mounting dread of an asylum interview that will determine his fate.
As he pedals through the streets of Paris to deliver meals, Souleymane recounts his story. In two days, he has to go through his asylum application interview, the key to obtaining papers, but Souleymane is not ready.
