Bicycle Thieves

One of the most important films of Italian neorealism, Bicycle Thieves tells the story of post-war Rome and its struggling inhabitants.

Antonio Ricci, a father of two, is unemployed and desperate. After a long search, he finally finds a job — but it requires a bicycle, which the family had previously pawned to afford food.
They manage to redeem the bike, but on Antonio’s very first day of work, it gets stolen.

In despair, Antonio and his young son Bruno set out through the streets of Rome in search of the stolen bicycle — a journey that turns into a test of endurance and morality.
