Review –
Like many cities today Paris is a tale of two halves, the city and then the
outer suburbs. There are times when they are almost two different worlds even
though they are deeply interconnected. Within these worlds and the stories of
those lives that are shaped by their worlds, their struggles, and the forces
they can’t control.
On the outskirts of Paris lives Soulaymaan
(Jammeh Diangana), his brother Noumouké (Bakary Diombera), and their mother
Khadijah (Kani Diarra). Soulaymaan is preparing for his final exam as part of
his law degree, hoping to create a better life for him and his family. However,
his younger brother is at a crossroads, he could follow in Soulaymaan’s path or
that of his brother Demba (Kery James) who run drugs in the local area after spending
some time in jail.
