Written as a fairy tale

This film is very focused on presenting the point of view of Senegalese trinket sellers who work in the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower. The narration is poetic. It is stitched together from interviews with a few different migrants. They tell a tale of being in exile from their homes, and trapped in limbo in a foreign land. We can hear the different speakers in their native tongue, at a low volume, while the narrator calmly translates their statements into English.

The visuals are a bit limited, they show variations of the same scene over and over again, a blanket resting on the city pavement with trinkets on it. It added a lot to the film when they showed a few shots of the flop houses where these migrants live, ten to a room.
