A Perfect Day

In a conflict zone a body is thrown into a well to contaminate and cut off the water supply to the local population, and circumstances soon turn the simple task of retrieving the body into an impossible mission. A group of aid workers must outsmart UN bureaucrats, the military, a particularly angry dog and local criminals to solve the humanitarian crisis. Humour, drama, tenderness, routine, danger, hope: all in a perfect day.

Critic Reviews:

• " [de Aranoa is] a director at home with the small things that can make a film great – interested in what keeps people together when everything around them is being blown apart. It's a wonderful gift. " – Sandra Hall

• " Del Toro and Robbins adroitly capture the dark humour of the drama, and their scenes together are gems of bleak comedy. " – David Stratton

• " A Perfect Day is a war story told on a small scale. It's all the more powerful for its subtlety. " – Liz Braun
