criticism: The
Faith moves mountains is well known, and religion has nothing to do necessarily. For children the saying is maybe to replace more than for adults who have learned to perceive the world with realistic eyes and everything else or ignore. Children in turn are not trained to clearly distinguish between external reality and their imagination. But so it is also the eight-year Karolin Lenz from Vienna. Karos parents have separated shortly after the first communion of their daughter, after family needs and work requirements could not be reconciled. Karos mother gave birth to the child her career as a musician, while the father has a busy TV host of a contact show for lonely hearts no more time for the family. A Free of his walkie-talkie set is Karo goes after moving with his mother in a new apartment, which lost a device, a lifeline. In her despair at the separation of the parents attempted to take over the remaining device contact with God, who intended to bring together parents. And indeed, after several attempts, logs suddenly a grumpy male voice that seems to come directly for diamonds from the sky. The "God" is behaving strangely indeed, speak in Viennese dialect and used indelicate expressions, but it promises Karo, at least think about how he can help her. Quickly finds out the girl that "God" only lives one floor below and an older tramp and a drunkard with unkempt appearance is. But it takes time for diamonds, playing with her, answered their questions and tries to help her with advice and support. This gives rise to a number of complications and misunderstandings that sets the film with slapstick and stylized dialogue in scene, but also the prohibition of both parents, to meet further with this man. When parents divorce date it initially appears as a diamond would now do without the "Dear God". In her feature film debut the Austrian director Danielle Proskar the difficult issue of separation of parents from all approaches once childlike perspective, without trivializing something that is often experienced by children younger than trauma. Clearly, it conveys the feelings of pain, guilt, helplessness and inner conflict to deal with the diamond has. The idea for the film was the director of an affected child sponsor, the script they developed in the framework of the "Step by step". In Resi Reiner found for the role of diamonds a wonderful actress, who had as a child of a single mother already an idea of what feelings it should convey in the film. Proskars idea presented by the castle-actor Branko Samarovski embodied "Dear God" as a social outsider, is risky and could have ended painfully, but the two main characters are in perfect harmony. The screenplay is also in the dialogues of child language appropriate and not overloaded with subplots. At the same time bridging the gap between existing sense of reality checks very successful over the strange neighbors and their holding to the belief that man is the "Dear God" by the film that possibility is not excluded in principle. First, greater when it comes to the prohibition of parents in their fear, diamonds could be exploited by the man or even abused. This suspicion, the director spoke briefly to him, but then to be invalidated by the new boyfriend of the mother, who watches the two in secret. In this way, encourages the film Diamonds in their judgments and in their feeling for the undisguised and naked truth behind appearances, the adults put on the first special weight. And probably not only separation but he makes children a fun way courage to cope with their problems, precisely because a corny and unrealistic happy ending avoided.
