Director Boris Lojkine

After emmigrating from Guinea, Souleymane works as a delivery driver in Paris. Waiting for his asylum interview, he practices the story that he will tell the French administration. However, homelessness, trouble at work, financial difficulties, and anxiety about his family in Guinea, make it difficult to prepare, and he worries that his asylum application will not be accepted.
