Day Is Done Page #3

Synopsis: A smokestack stubbornly pierces the sky. Trains rumble by down below. Lights come on in the buildings as night falls. There is a man behind the camera, looking for an image -- of himself? Of the world? Of society? By day and night, in rain and snow, he stands filming at the window of his studio. Periodically we hear people leaving messages on his answering machine. They talk about the weather while on vacation and congratulate him on his birthday. His father dies, a child is born, the young family begins to fall apart. Time passes. Slowly the cityscape morphs into the inner landscape of the man behind the camera.

home by ambulance. So. Ciao.

Hi Thomas.

I just arranged for the urn burial

on Monday the 21st.

The latest time we can get

is at 11 o'clock in the morning.

I'll just set the date with everybody,

because otherwise...

It won't work in the afternoon -

they're all booked up...

So 11 o'clock on the 21st, okay?

Ciao.

Hello, this is Peter Brker in Zurich;

it's Monday and

I wanted to know how everything went.

The whole week and

if Well Done was a success,

if it was well received and everything.

Well now, he's probably relaxing,

on the Seychelles or something

and is getting tanned

and has his hair cut short

and God knows what else.

I just got the mail

and your letter arrived.

Among other things, there was

some information on this birth center

and it looks like

there's no postnatal care.

That means you're driven home

2-3 hours after giving birth.

Well, take a look.

Ready to go?

Yeah.

She thought it didn't look so good,

she was worried because the baby

is too low and

the uterus has already dropped,

which shouldn't happen

until the last month of pregnancy.

So she's

committed me to the hospital

because it would be irresponsible

if labor pains started again

and something really did happen.

So, talk to you later. Ciao.

Hi Thomas.

I saw Monika yesterday

and she's in good shape.

We had a good time.

I'll see you on Saturday and

maybe you can call me

before that. Ciao.

Hello Thomas. This is Jrg.

I just got back from Paris.

Are you out, because

the baby is already on the way,

or are you busy with other things?

I'm going to the Solothurn festival,

but probably only in the afternoon.

But maybe we'll see each other

anyway. Take care. Ciao.

Hi there, this is the

''Diaperland Mothers' Union.''

We wanted to see

if father's at home to say hello.

It's Saturday morning, 11:30,

and I wanted to see...

You're probably still asleep...

Ah no, you have to be somewhere

at 12, right? How stupid of me.

Hello Thomas and Monika and Noah.

I'm back from Paris with my family,

we would like to pay our respects

to the little prince.

Mr Imbach, this is

Mata Real Estate.

I hope you're still

interested in an aparrtment.

I have a beautiful offer:

4 rooms in Witikon

as of June 1st:
2500 francs

with a fireplace and

a view of the mountains.

Would you be interested?

Greetings from Mata Real Estate.

Goodbye.

Mr Imbach,

Matta Real Estate' calling.

Today, April 4,

this afternoon at 3.

I have a dream flat

for you in district 3,

a 4-room apartment, 120sqm,

1740 Francs, from May 1st.

It has high ceilings

with stucco work.

Munchkin is just waking up,

you can tell...

it's 6 and I'm going to air

the apartment, if you're around,

Thomas Imbach

Thomas Imbach (born 1962) is an independent filmmaker based in Zürich, Switzerland. With his production company Bachim Films, Imbach produced his own work until 2007. He then founded Okofilm Productions together with director/producer Andrea Staka. All of his films have been released theatrically and Imbach has won numerous awards for his work, both in Switzerland and abroad. With Well Done (1994) and Ghetto (1997) Imbach established his trademark audio-visual style, which is based on a combination of cinema- verité camera-work and fast-paced computer-controlled editing. His fiction features Happiness is a Warm Gun (nominated for the Golden Leopard at Locarno International Film Festival), as well as Lenz (2006), I was a Swiss Banker (2007) and the fictive autobiography Day is Done (2011) all premiered at the Berlinale. His latest feature film Mary Queen of Scots celebrated its premiere in Locarno and at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013. more…
