The sea, the fog, loud noises... Ivan is scared of everything! Sometimes he'd love to live great adventures and visit distant places, but then he remembers that it's impossible. Because the secret Ivan keeps is that, since he was little, he has always been very afraid of things. And, with so many scares and shivers, his dreams of living great adventures and visiting remote places seem more and more impossible...

One day, an unexpected visitor arrives home. It's Uncle Harry! He had returned from one of his long trips to Africa, just in time to celebrate his nephew's birthday. Could an unexpected visit help him overcome his deepest fears? Could an old African song change his life forever?
