Dir. Boris Lojkine, France, 2024, 92 mins. In French, Fulah and Malinka with English subtitles. Cast. Abou Sangaré, Nina Meurisse, Younoussa Diallo, Alpha Oumar Sow.
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 wallop of a social drama. With a star-making performance from charismatic newcomer Abou Sangaré as Souleymane.
Winner of Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury Award and Best Actor award for Abou Sangaré.
