Legend of the bandit and the champion (The) Fiction - contemporany drama

Code: 021991

The role of the bicycle looms large in Italy of the 1920’s, still a poor country of people who work the land. Costante and Sante are both from the town of Novi Ligure, and they both ride their bicycle for countless miles on the dirt roads of foggy Northern Italy. But Costante becomes a bicycle racing champion, while the robberies that Sante commits on his bike make a sort of twowheeled Robin Hood, forcing him to fl ee to France to escape arrest. Both the champion and the bandit sweat out their existence...
