Souleymane’s Story (France)
10 November | 8:30pm
Souleymane is a Guinean asylum seeker living in Paris who works as a food delivery cyclist. He has just two days to prepare for a crucial asylum interview that will determine whether he can remain in France legally. As he navigates exhausting deliveries, homelessness, exploitation and pressure to memorise a story for the immigration authorities, the film explores the emotional and practical challenges faced by undocumented migrants. Winner of the Jury and Best Performance Prizes at Cannes, together with several Césars, including for Best Original Screenplay.
