The European Film Festival of Atlanta comes back for its 2025 edition at the Tara and the Plaza Theatre, from May 7-10, 2025. This year, France presents Souleymane’s Story, a 92-minutes drama directed by Boris Lojkine, with Abou Sangaré, César Award of the Best Male Revelation 2025.
SYNOPSIS: Delivery workers have become an indispensable part of city life, especially since the pandemic. Among them is Souleymane (Abou Sangaré, in a commanding debut), who criss-crosses the frenetic Parisian streets in a constant race against the clock. He, like many around him, is working without permission, ‘renting’ his identity from a friend with legal status. But in just two days, Souleymane will learn whether his own asylum application will be approved or not. So, whilst striving to meet his delivery platform’s demands, he nervously practices for his interview, trying to keep his growing anxiety at bay…
