As always, Gainsbourg is quietly superb as the thoughtful Alice, a woman who knows she needs to get her own life back but is afraid to take the plunge. Indeed, Sy lights up the screen with his expressive face, even upstaging the charismatic, cheeky Rahim, who gives one of his most physically kinetic performances. But Samba is such a charmer that Alice can't resist him. In one clever scene, both the legal workers and the migrants attend a party together, trying to overcome the official barriers between them. Samba and Alice may have been immediately attracted to each other, but everything is working against them, and navigating the social structures is tricky. And Samba also secretly keeps in touch with Alice.Д®ssentially a romance, the love story blossoms slowly and realistically. When Samba is ordered to leave France, he goes into hiding with his Uncle Lamouna (Youngar Fall), using his uncle's legal identity to get construction work alongside the fast-talking Brazilian Wilson (Tahar Rahim). Manu's assistant is Alice (Gainsbourg), a volunteer taking time off after a breakdown, and she has a strong spark of attraction with the charismatic Samba, even though she knows she shouldn't get personally involved. But his resident visa is suddenly in jeopardy, so he consults charity lawyer Manu (Izia Higelin), who can't find much reason to be hopeful. Sy plays the title character Samba, an immigrant from Senegal to France who has just been promoted to a job as a restaurant chef.
