The love story of two anthropomorphised white blood cells, one of whom becomes infected with the AIDS virus. Animators Esteban Bravo and Beth David said of making this short film, “We wanted to tell a story that was relevant to Freddie's life, but not explicitly about him. The AIDS crisis of the 1980s is a huge part of LGBT+ history, and it's something that we knew needed to be handled with care. It's a fine line to walk between shedding light on a subject, and perpetuating a stigma, and we were cautious not to lean into tropes and stereotypes that might hurt the modern understanding of the AIDS virus, rather than help it."

When a person is between thirty and forty, he or she experiences a crisis that leads to a rediscovery of one’s own identity, the director of Chinese-Filipino origin reflects in her autobiographical essay.

In the 1980s, the Korean student movement generated powerful anti-American feelings in Korean society. The director wonders why it should be - despite this sentiment - that Korean women continue to marry American GIs. In addition, he is curious about what their life is like after their wedding day. Ajuma is a former prostitute who married an American soldier and now lives in New Jersey. From their first meeting until the last, the film project is in danger of being undermined by the conflict between the director and Ajuma. The contrast between the two finally turns into the subject of the documentary. In the story, which is told in an unorthodox way, both of them finally reveal themselves.

On 19 March 1966, a photo exhibition about the police intervention during the wedding of Beatrix and Claus opened in Amsterdam. After the opening, filmmaker Louis van Gasteren filmed how, in the distance, policemen began beating up a young man, seemingly without any provocation. This footage was shown that same evening on television. Van Gasteren interviewed the victim, a 22-year-old student, who declared that he was walking in that direction because his ‘bicycle was there’. That became the title of this short film, in which Van Gasteren used slow motion to analyse the objectionable actions taken by the police.
