After a little searching, he finally gets a job putting up posters, but there is a catch. He must have a bicycle to ride in order to get the job done and is told “No bicycle, no job.” His wife Maria pawns their bedsheets in order to be able to afford a bicycle from the pawnbroker.
However, not long after he gets the job, his bicycle is stolen by a young thief as he is putting up a poster. He goes to the police, hoping that they will take this theft seriously, only to be surprised that they choose not to go after something of the sort.

He then requests additional help in a desperate search for his bicycle which will determine he and his family’s livelihood.
