How can bicycles be the remedy for the increasing isolation and disunity in modern life in the time of climate change and digitalisation? How can a cargo bike be a companion in discovering one’s parental role? Liz Canning had cycled everywhere before, and switching to a car when her twins were born turned out a stifling, isolated period to her. The film is a road movie with a lot of fun and energy, tracing back to Channing’s previous free-wheeling life and to the instincts that have belonged to us for thousands of years. What does it really mean to feel complete? It’s time to get in the saddle and explore it together.
