A Chinese delivery driver has his rental bike stolen in this devastating, Bicycle Thieves–esque drama about lives on the edge of poverty.

Lu is a Chinese immigrant living day to day on tips from his job as a delivery worker, supporting his wife and ailing mother as they try to make ends meet in the unforgiving city. When his bicycle is stolen, Lu is forced to take a desperate journey to save the fragile life he’s built in the US. Selected for this year’s Cannes, Same Old is quietly shattering.
