Ozren is a small boy of Croatian descent who lives in Vienna with his mother, Silvija in the mid-1980s. As a single parent she emigrated to Vienna from the former Yugoslavia in the hope of a better life. Like any child, he very much looks up to his mother. She is a waitress and when she goes out to work at night, his aunt, Ljiljana comes to take care of him. Then we see him back in elementary school, where he is called as whore's boy. Although he does not understand the meaning of the swear word, he is intrigued by it: his mother works as a waitress, right?
