As he pedals through the streets of Paris to deliver meals, Souleymane (Abou Sangare) rehearses his story. In two days, he has to go through his asylum application interview, the key to obtaining papers. But will he be ready in time for his interview? In this propulsive and moving story, director Boris Lojkine connects the fight for economic survival and the overwhelming, arbitrary bureaucratic immigration system in surprising, cinematic terms that demand to be experienced on the big screen.
