Frank Meutstege is a perfectionist commercial director, who is about to get married with Xandra, heiress of a prominent family. The week before the wedding he is guest of honour at an African gala, because it has been 15 years since he shot his heartbreaking ‘Help Malinda’ Africa-commercial, which became world-famous and gave him a worldwide career. He is astonished when he is confronted with a dark teenager, Sunny, who claims to be his daughter. Frank immediately thinks it’s a con-trick, but the girl has apparently valid papers: If it is true, it will be a disaster for Frank’s upcoming wedding and his reputation. There is nothing else to do but to dispute it in the village where he once shot the ‘Help Malinda’ commercial. He wants to travel there quickly with his supposed daughter, but a rebellion is breaking out. Because of that they are forced to take an improvised route through a rough African area, where danger is lurking everywhere. A special bond is growing between Frank and the girl during this adventurous road trip, which ends at the spot, where Frank used to fall heavenly in love with the main actress of the Africa-commercial, Malinda. There the truth will be revealed.
