What Is The Bicycle About?
The premise of The Bicycle without spoilers.
Susanne, a young single mother, lives a seemingly carefree life until she quits her job and falls into financial difficulty, prompting a modest insurance fraud to survive. The film offers a rare female‑focused view of everyday socialism, which embarrassed East German officials, leading them to reject every invitation to screen the movie abroad.
