This is the real Ivorian Willy Wonka. A magical realist inter-continental adventure about a young woman whose family left the Côte d’Ivoire to rebuild a life in France, having seen all the hard work on their cocoa plantation disappear to the white West. In an interesting twist of fate, a love for chocolate leads her back into the business when she grows up, and she finds work as a chocolatier at a confectionary store, only for an unexpected discovery to impel her to seek answers from her family’s cocoa farm back in her motherland. A buried ancestral story, chocolate sorcery, and the path to reparation entwine in a delightful cascade of events which then propel her to the very top of the chocolate world.
