Life in One Day
Running time: 94 mins
Countless kisses are forgotten, but the first kiss is indelible.
For Benny and Gini, their entire lives last literally one day. In the morning, they grow up. In the afternoon, they have sex for the first time. But the unexpected happens, and in a world that teaches that love is not an option, they lose their hearts to one another and decide one day is not enough. However, there is only one way out: commit the ultimate crime and be sent to hell?a world of repetition and boredom, where you can remain in love for the rest of your life. And along the way, something goes terribly wrong.
A charming, visually stunning reminder of the power we hold over our own lives, director Marc de Cloe?s Life in One Day is not only a simple story of love, but also of the importance of time. In his words, ?It?s time that makes you forget love, it?s time that blunts love, it?s time that makes love die. But thank goodness it?s love that is best at fending off time.?
