Karo

It is a terrible blow for 8-year-old Karo when her parents split up. She feels so miserable that she pours out her heart, in the hope that God Almighty might be listening. But Karo’s “God” turns out to be a shabby old man with an alcohol problem who lives in the same building. The old man finds himself drawn into Karo‘s unhappy world, and he simply can‘t help playing the role she has assigned to him. And Karo realizes that what makes him God-like is not his omnipotence but his growing willingness to devote his time to her and the problems she faces.
