Synopsis:

Master filmmaker Raúl Ruiz adds a black comedy to his far-reaching body of work with That Day, a playful meditation on money, death, and false spirituality. Livia (Elsa Zylberstein) and Pointpoirot (Bernard Girardeau) are, respectively, a spoiled society woman who suffers from delusional visions of heavenly apparitions and a crazed serial killer on the loose after a successful prison break. It isn't long before fate brings the two together, and after thwarting Pointpoirot's initial attempts to murder her, Livia soon warms to the charming sociopath. The duo makes short work of Livia's greedy family - who were planning on killing her and collecting her fortune, anyway - and as the death count rises, a romance develops between the two.

Livia is the sole inheritor of the immense family fortune. But her father desperately needs money... First hint: an invitation to rapture... Who is crazy? The one who is believed to be or the one who knows? Who knows? The beggars and the yokels will pay in this Helvetian tale in which the beautiful, sensual and cruel protects her innocence. Pointpoirot, the agitated Emil, accomplice to all beauties, dazzling or impassive, will know how to win his freedom by livening up the banquet of the damned.
