Hope



Boris Lojkine : 2014

Dreaming of a better future, Léonard leaves Cameroon for Europe. His journey will end badly however. Abandoned by his travel companions in the middle of the Sahara, he finds himself blocked in a border village, without any resources. His path will cross with Hope's, a young Nigerian woman who is also stuck and has found herself forced into prostitution. She needs a protector and is looking for a way out of the desert. In a fiercely hostile world where safety requires staying with one's own people, Léonard and Hope try to find their way together, and to love each other. Boris Lojkine's feature debut was awarded Le Prix SACD when it premiered at Semaine de la Critique du Festival de Cannes 2014.
