Every day on the beach at imaginary place in Africa, called Coccatuttibana, Asina, a little girl, waits for the ship from Rostock with the young sailor Karli. He has promised to bring her a unique gift that does not exist in Africa. Finally, the day arrives, and Asina gets her present: a talking snowman! But the frozen man cannot survive the African sun for long, so Asina needs to come up with a plan. A funny, poetic and imaginative film by Rolf Losansky, an internationally praised and awarded children's film director.
