Movie in German w/English subtitles: "Der gross Kater" (The day of the cat) (Germany, 2010) Switzerland in the 70?s was a country faraway from conspiracy plots. We invite you to plunge into an intriguing and sinister complot right in the heart of Swiss politics with ?The Day of the Cat.? Thrill yourselves on a discovery of how dangerous the political atmosphere can be, even in a country, famed for its neutrality, like Switzerland. Based on and inspired by the experiences of author Thomas Hürlimann, The Day of the Cat is an adaptation of its namesake book and casts light on the tangled world of Swiss and European politics. This gripping story portrays the final two days in office of the President of Switzerland and the endeavors he must endure to keep his family and pride together. This film is an invitation to reflect on the political world with its sometimes intense and conniving competition. A fickle place, where changes in circumstances mean even the best of friends can become the worst of enemies, but also where one can find unexpected loyal allies among the opposition. A hit in Switzerland and with the top prize at the 2010 Bavarian Film Awards, The Day of the Cat is a reliable and fascinating portrait of Swiss politics approaching the close of the 70?s.
