The fine Day

“It’s so hard talking about feelings. Everytime I try it sounds wrong somehow ...” Waking up in her boyfriend’s Kreuzberg flat one summer morning, 21-year-old out-of-work actress Deniz (Serpil Turhan) begins impassively to change her life. After session as foreign film dubber – they’re in the midst of looping Rohmer’s A SUMMER’S TALE –, she promptly breaks up with the hapless Jan (Florian Stetter) after an argument in a cafe and a leisurely walk.
As she moves from one appointment to the next, Deniz begins a casual game of cat-and-mouse in the Berlin underground with the mysterious Diego (Bilge Bingul), with whom she ends up spending the evening. The next morning in a cafe, the wanderer receives some chance wisdom from an academic (Elke Schmitter) to begin another fine new day.

THE FINE DAY is the third part of Thomas Arslan's “Berlin Trilogy”, which includes the films BROTHERS AND SISTERS (1997) and DEALER (1998).
