A Fine Day



Thomas Arslan : 2001
Der schöne Tag

A day in the life of 21-year-old Deniz who lives in Berlin and works as a voice actress. Deniz has high expectations of herself and of life – too high perhaps. In any case, she is not really happy with her boyfriend Jan. On a beautiful summer's day she meets Jan in a café after a synchronised job. In the subsequent walk, she separates from him. A little confused and disturbed by this move, Deniz roams through summery Berlin for the rest of the day. She tries to understand what she expects from life. After auditioning for a film role, she meets Diego at a subway station. Following a mutual pursuit through the metro network of the city, they get to know each other. They spend the evening together. But Deniz knows that this encounter will have no consequences for her. In the early morning they part. Exhausted from the long distances she has travelled that day, Deniz returns to her apartment. The new day dawns. Her life continues. She is searching again. The third part in his trilogy about Turkish youth growing up in Germany, Thomas Arslan's feature premiered in the Forum section at Berlin International Film Festival 2001.
