Origin of the script:
An unemployed man got a job, the job needed a bike, but the bike was stolen on the first day of work. Then he and his son tried to get their bike back, but they couldn't find it. Such a simple story.
The structure of the story is:
From the bike being stolen to trying to find the bike, and then trying to steal a bike, the story ends with an attempted car over your head.
This is not a story about stealing and crime, this is a story about poverty and despair. The story of the helplessness and despair of ordinary people in the context of the disaster of the Great Era.
The little boy Bruno is a real homeless child, and the male owner Kiki is a real laid-off worker
Like 11 o'clock in Rome, Italian films after the war are trying their best to depict the daily life of ordinary people, people's existence under barrenness and hardships.
Captivating shots are done in limited real-world settings.
