The places from which we are absent

I’ve been filming my friend Kante, Guinean by origin and Polish by adoption, a night worker in the suburbs of London with a head full of an Africa that he left many years ago. And me, a low-cost cosmopolitan, perpetually searching for a better place in Western Europe, visiting my mother who had fallen ill with cancer in Poland. My camera keeps track of my and Kante’s fears of an uncertain future, our daily resourcefulness, and friendship – a remedy for our frustrations and setbacks.
