Janna's father has been fired from his job. It makes Janna restless. She is also concerned about her younger sister Zoë, who is still too young to understand their parents' money problems. It is the first week after the autumn holidays and Janna's new friends told the nicest stories about the trips they had made. Janna's holiday was less pleasant. Her father had to sell their car due to lack of money, and he and Barbara just argued. In order to take a hot shower, Janna and Zoë now have to shower at the public swimming pool around the corner. Janna wants to do something, she wants to help her family.
