Synopsis
"The Day / Der Tag" tells the story about the every day occurence of death. The essay-film scetches the last day of about ten people who died in Berlin. As voice-overs, the "passers-by", or the different people close to the deceased, tell their story of that particular day from when they woke up, until the moment of death – somewhere in the city. Sometimes this moment is totally surprising, and sometimes it seems somehow forceful...Spaces become something like an intermediate world in this formally very strict and konsequent film. Sonically, "daily life" is staged as a musical, dramaturgical sound collage by FM Einheit (Einstuerzende Neubauten).cinematic meditation on the immediate near to death.
