Plot

In the heart of Paris, Seydou, a migrant delivery worker, navigates the challenges of survival and solitude, finding unexpected moments of connection that illuminate his path.

In the late-night streets of Paris, Seydou, a delivery man from Senegal, weaves through the bustling city on his bike. His nights are marked by fleeting interactions, dropping off packages under the glow of streetlights, and catching brief moments of calm in small coffee shops between deliveries. Each ride brings him closer to his family in spirit, especially to his pregnant wife, Aminata, who anxiously counts the days until he can return home. Though surrounded by the energy of the city, Seydou is often left feeling isolated, far from the warmth and familiarity of his homeland.

During a routine delivery, Seydou crosses paths with Albert, an elderly Parisian man living alone, burdened by a lifetime of loss and regret. What begins as a chance encounter soon grows into an unexpected friendship. As they spend more time together, Seydou finds solace in their exchanges-sharing stories of their cultures, their pasts, and their hopes for the future. In turn, Albert, who has long retreated into isolation, discovers in Seydou a connection that offers him new purpose and companionship. Through shared moments of laughter, long conversations, and mutual understanding, they begin to transform each other's lives.

Seydou's world is split between the demanding, fast-paced rhythm of his nightly work in the sprawling city and the tender, loving video calls he shares with Aminata back in Senegal. His bond with Albert becomes an unexpected source of strength, helping him stay grounded in his roots while navigating the challenges of life in a foreign city. Despite the distance from his family, Seydou remains focused on building a brighter future for his wife and their soon-to-be-born child.

As he rides through narrow streets and over bridges, Seydou's quiet determination shines, standing out against the backdrop of a city that can be both beautiful and unforgiving. In the midst of his personal struggle, the human connections he forms-both with Albert and across continents-bring light and meaning to his journey, reminding him of the hope and love that continue to drive him forward, even far from home.
