As he pedals through the streets of Paris to deliver meals, Souleymane repeats his story. In two days, he has to go through his asylum application interview, the key to obtaining residency papers. But Souleymane is not ready.

“As the script teases out the details of what he's been through, it acutely humanises this young, single male who has come to Europe in a boat. The effect is profound.”
Ben Nicholson, Sight & Sound

“With empathetic yet unsentimental means, Lojkine gracefully explores both the insurmountable pressures of the asylum-granting system and the precarious conditions of the gig economy.”
Marina Ashioti, Little White Lies
