Every day on the beach at Coccatuttibana, Asina, a little girl from Africa, waits for the ship from Rostock. The young sailor Karli will be on it, and he has promised to bring her something special 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.
