Sinekatalog’s take

Alain Gomis's drama follows a Senegalese student in Paris who struggles with identity, papers and the question of returning home. Subtle and restless, with a touch of surrealism, it is a thoughtful debut about migration and belonging.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
