Zbigniew and his wife opened a laundry shop in the city of Klagenfurt six years ago. They were happy to have customers, but they couldn't keep up with the demand. They had to pay rent, utilities, car loans, and the doctor's bill. When Alice was born, the family had to borrow money from a loan shark to pay for the baby's medical bills. The loan shark threatened to sell Zbignia and his child if he didn't comply with the loan shark's orders to sell drugs.
