Based on the Italian legendary Champion cyclist Gino Bartali and his moral legacy. Following the footsteps of Bartali, who during World War II helped to save the lives of many Jews, Bartali’s Bicycle tells the story of two modern teenagers who challenge prejudice in present-day Jerusalem. A story of friendship and sports told in two distinctive timelines: the past and the future.
