“You’re dead rotten! You don’t care about me!” Karo yells into her walkie-talkie. She is addressing the Lord God, who has allowed her parents to split up. A grumpy voice answers Karo. Is this God? It seems that way at first, but when Karo meets him face to face, she isn‘t sure. Does the Almighty look so shabby? And why does he want to stop her from bothering him? But Karo persists and soon persuades him to help her hatch with various schemes to reunite her parents. They have some great ideas – but things don‘t quite work out according to plan. Still, life comes to look pretty fine again…
Director’s statement
"You‘re a nasty old boozer - get lost!" Karo's words hardly sound like a prayer, but they do persuade the Lord God to help her. Karo's plans don't work out in the end - but instead she discovers true friendship and realises that happiness is not about fate but attitudes to life.
