Souleymane’s Story
(L’histoire de Souleymane)
Anchored by an extraordinary performance from Abou Sangaré, Souleymane’s Story follows a Guinean asylum seeker in Paris, struggling to survive on the fringes of society.
Forced into precarious work and a false asylum story, Souleymane faces the constant emotional toll of his uncertain future. A raw, compassionate portrayal of survival, loneliness, and resilience in the face of systemic barriers.
