Synopsis
The most remarkable thing about the Ivorian Inza Touré is that there is nothing seemingly remarkable about him. In turn, the extraordinary thing about how Joël Akafou films him lies in his ability to present Touré not as a mere vague example of a condition (the African immigrant in Europe). The filmmaker’s secret (not coincidentally, also an African migrant in Europe) results from his focus on the banality of the slices of love, longing, or uncertainty for the future, all of which reveal the unique dimension of each individual: the human being as continuously extraordinary.
