More About Film

Christine’s life has not been easy lately. Her lonely routine is divided between free food bank distributions and wandering the streets of Paris. On a cold winter night, she finds Suli, an 8-year-old Burkinabé boy, sobbing in front of her shelter. Christine understands that he has been separated from his mother and is now lost. Bonded by their marginal condition, they embark together on an emotional journey full of tenderness to find Suli’s mother in the underground world of the city.
