“A moving tour de force.” (Cinemania)

“a moving, suspenseful, and visceral depiction of the immigrant experience…an outstanding performance by non-professional actor Abou Sangare” (Midnight East)

“one of the best films I’ve seen this year” (The Sydney Morning Herald)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

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.
