Ghana's cocoa is being transformed into excellent Swiss chocolate. But how can poor farmers share in the booming cocoa trade? Yayra Glover, a dual Swiss-Ghanaian national, has a visionary idea. Through the production of organic cocoa, he wants to help cocoa farmers achieve greater independence and better living conditions. The film follows Yayra in the development of his project, for which he accepts great personal sacrifice. Despite the difficulties he faces in securing funding from the Ghanaian authorities, he remains true to his vision and finally succeeds in delivering his cocoa beans to a Swiss chocolate manufacturer for the first time.
