“Cher Paul…”, reads a postcard that mysteriously lands on the floor of a charming farmhouse, occupied by a young couple. It throws Hannah in a spinning tantrum. What is the message? Her partner Lothar, a no-nonsense banker, ridicules her, until a series of baffling events also hurls him off course. The bank he works for appears to sail in choppy waters and he is tasked with a rescue plan. The sudden appearance of an excentric orchestra director amplifies Lothar’s suspicion of being the victim of a conspiracy. “Your demons have become mine,” he blames the woman he loves. That’s when Hannah gets into action, traces the origin of the postcard and liberates Lothar from his phobia. CARMILLOD is an intriguing mystery tale exposing intertwined notions of reality and perception. It is skilfully delivered with elegant verve and tingling humour.
