Souleymane's Story, dir. Boris Lojkine, France 2024, 93 min., French/Fula/Maninka with English subtitles

Book tickets

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. Pressure builds as his date with destiny approaches. 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 gut punch of a social drama. A four-time César-award-winning  production in which the dynamic storytelling is matched by a star-making performance from charismatic newcomer Abou Sangaré (Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury Prize and Best Actor) as Souleymane.
