When eight year-old Karo’s parents separate, she
is devastated. She only sees her father on weekends now that she and her mother
have moved into an apartment. Unsure of what to do, she turns on the
walkie-talkie her father gave her and pours out her heart in the hope that God
is listening. She is surprised when someone actually answers. She believes it’s
God himself. As she soon discovers, however, it is not really God, but someone
who may be even better. A fascinating and original drama about a common
parental situation, handled with humour and humanism.
Lorsque les
parents de Karo, huit ans, se séparent, elle est anéantie. Elle ne voit désormais son père que les
week-ends, et sa mère et elle ont déménagé dans un appartement. Ne sachant que faire, elle se confie au
walkie-talkie que son père lui a donné en espérant que Dieu l'entende. À sa surprise, quelqu'un répond. Ce n'est
pas Dieu – mais peut-être quelqu'un de mieux. Un film pour toute la famille.
