Every second of Souleymane’s new life in France is precious. Having fled Guinea, his asylum interview looms. He powers through the streets of after dark Paris as a delivery rider, sleeps in hostels and prepares for his make-or-break appointment which will determine his residence permit status. But Souleymane is not ready…

Awarded the Jury Prize and Best Actor Prize in the Un Certain Regard selection at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, Boris Lojkine’s portrait of a modern migrant propels us into the precarious world of an otherwise invisible man. Steeped in compassion, Souleymane’s Story combines the pace of a thriller with the emotional wallop of a social drama. An award-winning French production in which the dynamic storytelling is matched by a star-making performance from charismatic newcomer Abou Sangaré as Souleymane.
