Revolving mainly around a man's wild-goose chase over the city in search of his bicycle, the first thought that entered my mind was: Does the end justify the means?
Antonio, a poor man, goes all over the city with his son to recover the bicycle vital for his job. In the process, he does a lot of things mainly out of instinct and impulse, things that he will most likely regret. He causes chaos and uproar, harasses a man, picks a fight with a whole community of people by falsely accusing one of them, steals a bicycle and worst, hits his son. He seems to be like an animal in a corner, no longer thinking but relying on instinct alone. I can't help but feel sorry for him, though. I see that he does those things because he is driven by desperation to find the thing that will provide him the opportunity to have a better life.
