Abou Sangare Shines in 'L'Histoire de Souleymane'

The film highlights the struggles of undocumented migrants through the eyes of a bicycle deliveryman in Paris.

Abou Sangare, a 23-year-old Guinean actor, won the Best Actor award in the 'Un Certain Regard' section at the Cannes Film Festival for his role in 'L'Histoire de Souleymane.'
The film, directed by Boris Lojkine, follows the life of a migrant delivery cyclist in Paris, tackling themes of precariousness and the quest for asylum.
Souleymane, the character portrayed by Sangare, navigates the challenges of working under a false name while preparing for a crucial asylum interview.
The story draws parallels with Sangare's own life, as he faces the threat of deportation despite his success at Cannes.
Critics praise the film for its realistic portrayal of the migrant experience and its blend of documentary and thriller elements.
