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. An award-winning French production in which the dynamic storytelling is matched by a star-making performance from charismatic newcomer Abou Sangaré as Souleymane.

Winner of 4 César awards:

Winner:
Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury Award and Best Actor award for Abou
