Ivie, nicknamed “Schoko” (“Choco”), is a graduate with African roots and in search of steady employment as a teacher following an internship. Suddenly, her younger half-sister Naomi from Berlin shows up at the front door. Ivie had no idea she ever existed. More confusing still is her news: Their father has died in Africa. All of a sudden, the salient question is as to whether she will travel to Senegal with Naomi for the funeral. But first of all, the two of them have to get to know each other. Ivie has the feeling she suddenly represents a culture she doesn‘t even know with a nickname she cannot accept anymore!
