Issa is an 18-year-old illegal immigrant who tries to survive as best as he can in Turin. Fired by his boss, he starts working as a rider thanks to a friend. However, this recently-conquered balance collapses when his bike gets stolen during a delivery on his first day of work. Issa begins his personal desperate Odyssey in different corners of the city, from Porta Palazzo to the suburban neighborhood of Barriera di Milano, in order to find the means of transportation, fundamental for his job. Issa lives at the margins of society, and lives with a constant sense of fear and anxiety given that his life is invisible, like many other people like him. This movie inevitably draws inspiration from Vittorio De Sica’s Ladri di biciclette , a cult classic of Italian cinema, adapting it to currently reality.

Milad Tangshir (Teheran, 1983) published three albums with the Iranian rock band Ahoora in the 2000s. In 2011 he moved to Italy to study Cinema at the University of Turin. After graduating, he started making short films and documentaries selected, and often awarded, in Italian and international festivals. Star Stuff was his first documentary long feature film, and that same year, in 2019, he presented the virtual reality short film VR Free at the Venice Film Festival.
