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 papers. But Souleymane is not ready.

ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ಬಟವಾಡೆ ಮಾಡಲು ಪ್ಯಾರಿಸ್ಸಿನ ಬೀದಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಹನದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಗುವಾಗ ಸುಲೆಮಾನ್ ತನ್ನ ಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಪುನರಾವರ್ತಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆಶ್ರಯ ಕೋರಿ ಅರ್ಜಿಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲು ಇನ್ನೆರೆಡೇ ದಿನ ಬಾಕಿ ಇದೆ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಪಟ್ಟ ಎಲ್ಲ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳೂ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲೇ ಇವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಸುಲೆಮಾನ್‌ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿದ್ಧನಿಲ್ಲ.

BORIS LOJKINE

Boris Lojkine, a philosophy graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, left academia after completing his thesis “Crisis and History” and moved to Vietnam, where he made two documentary films, CEUX QUI RESTENT (2001) and LES ÂMES ERRANTES (2005), both tell the Vietnamese side of the impossible mourning of men and women whose lives have been torn apart by war. With HOPE (2014), his first feature, he shifted focus to African migrants. The film was presented at the Cannes Critics’ Week and received dozens of awards in international festivals. CAMILLE (2019) won multiple awards, including the Audience Award at Locarno.
