Issa is a young Senegalese undocumented immigrant trying to survive as best he can in Turin, Italy. When he’s fired by his previous employer for fear of being fined by the police, Issa}s friend helps him get started working as a food-delivery rider for the company “Anywhere Anytime.” This new gig gives him a sense of security and freedom, riding his bike around the city, and controlling his destiny. But his newly gained sense of stability quickly collapses when, during a drop-off, the bicycle he’s just spent all of his money on is stolen. Issa then embarks on a desperate odyssey through the streets of the city to find his bike. An hommage to Bicycle Thieves for the 21st century.
