Omer (Daniel Gad) finally finds his stolen bike locked outside of a butcher shop. The cops are useless, and he can't find anyone willing to cut the bike's lock. Omer waits around, getting progressively angrier, until the bike's new owner comes out. Yunes (Dawit Tekelaeb) bought the bike from a guy at the bus station and it's his only means of getting his daughter to kindergarten. Omer must decide how far he is willing to go to get his bike back when it could mean that Yunes is deported.
If you want to watch a depressing ass story about poverty and bicycles, The Bicycle Thief is streaming on HBO Max. White Eye is the Reader's Digest version, clocking in at just under half an hour, conveniently also on HBO Max.
