Racing through the streets of Paris making food deliveries on his bicycle, Guinean immigrant Souleymane (Abou Sangaré) is struggling to stay afloat. In two days, he has to report for an asylum application interview, where he must plead his case to an immigration officer (Nina Meurisse) who will determine his future in France. As he rides, he repeats his story. But Souleymane is not ready.
