FILM SYNOPSIS
Ivie, nicknamed “Schoko” (“Choco”) by her childhood friends, is a 30-year-old woman with
African roots from Leipzig, who is in search of steady employment as a teacher while working at
her best friend’s solarium. One day, her half-sister Naomi from Berlin, previously unknown to
her, shows up at her front door to break the news of their father’s death, urging her to travel to
Africa for his funeral. As their worlds collide, Ivie begins to feel the weight of a culture she does
not truly know, with a name she can no longer accept. Sarah Blaßkiewitz’s tender feature debut
explores the nuances of mixed-race identity across different cities and communities in
Germany, to present the complexities and contours of what it means to be a multikulti society.
