A thief breaks into a house and stumbles upon a strange sight—a plaster statue of a woman lying in bed. As he pockets valuables, he’s caught by the frail, elderly owner. But instead of calling the police, the old man shares a bizarre secret: his wife’s remains are hidden inside the statue, preserved after she died years ago. In a chilling twist, he offers the thief a deal for his freedom—kill him and bury his body in a statue like his wife’s. Shocked, the thief refuses at first, but over the next two days, something shifts. As he spends time with the old man, he comes to see the depth of his love and devotion to his late wife.

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, 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.
