Overview
The 16-year-old Umberto, who lives in an East German small town with his mother and his little half-sister Bianca, dreams of Pa-isch, the country to which Bianca's Angolan father returned long ago. Pa-isch, a verballhorn of the Portuguese word for country, is far enough to no longer have to see the changing men's acquaintances of his drinking mother. When the family moves to Hamburg, everything gets even worse. The mother professionalises her constant partner changes and becomes ill with all abundance. Umberto's flame Tschibo also turns out to be a prostitute. Umberto is full of nose. He steals a heavy machine and breaks up to Africa with Bianca.
