Description
After a perilous journey, Souleymane has finally made it to Paris from Guinea. He manages to earn some money as a food delivery rider but is “sans papiers” and currently residing illegally in France. As he weaves through the bustling streets of Paris on his bike, he prepares for a critical interview with the immigration authorities—his only chance to secure legal papers. However, Souleymane is far from ready. For this decisive moment, he has memorized a persuasive story. The only thing is, it’s not his own story.
