LIKE A PEBBLE IN THE BOOT

Comme un caillou dans la botte

Directed by Hélène Choquette
Canada, 2017
Documentary

Synopsis

Against the iconic backdrop of Brunelleschi’s Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, migrants, mostly from Senegal, peddle cheap trinkets and selfie sticks to tourists. That is, if they’re lucky. People are usually not interested, locals are often racist, and street vending is illegal.
