Day Is Done

Thomas Imbach / Switzerland / 2011 / Czech Premiere / 111 min.


synopsis

FilmLIFE is a poetic-ironic mix of urban scenes with an audio track consisting of answering machine messages reflecting events from the past, and an autobiographical fiction expressing the eternal strife between the protagonist’s inner world and his surroundings. The setting sun is reflected in a train window, birds of prey circle overhead, lovers embrace, and the answering machine plays the voice of his dead father.
