French-Senegalese director Alain Gomis followed up his award-winning debut L’Afrance with this intimate study in identity loss, disenfranchisement and the search for inner peace centered on rootless 30-year-old Yacine, who abandons his family home on a run-down estate for life in a cramped trailer, a string of jobs that last for a day, and relationships that last a night.
