Le Marchand de sable

Directed by Steve Achiepo

With Moussa Mansaly, Benoît Magimel, Aïssa Maïga, Ophélie Bau and Mamadou Minte

Marked by years of prison, Djo, a parcel delivery man in the Paris suburbs, lives modestly with his mother and daughter. One day, an aunt who has just fled the Ivorian conflict arrives at their home with her three children. In a hurry, Djo manages to find them a place to live. But faced with the growing demand and with the prospect of offering a decent life to his daughter, Djo switches and becomes a sleep merchant.
