In this anguishing character study, a Paris food delivery cyclist and asylum seeker from Guinea named Souleymane (Abou Sangare) is anxiously applying for asylum in France.

Hindered by a system that prioritizes exposing one’s trauma over accepting the content of their character, Souleymane struggles.
