Logline: A lonely elderly man rediscovers the joy and pain of his youth through surreal encounters with a red bicycle. An elderly man, living in solitude, reads his newspaper on his porch every day, where he experiences something extraordinary: he begins to recognize passersby as people from his youth, including his late wife. At first startled, he gradually allows himself to be carried away by the images of his memory, and time regresses to his younger years. The film explores themes related to rites of passage and offers reflections on the challenges of urbanization and aging.
