Set “somewhere in the Balkans” in 1995, Fernando León de Aranoa’s hit-and-miss film about the absurdities of trying to do good during wartime stars Benicio del Toro and Tim Robbins as Western aid workers stymied by bureaucratic red tape and centuries-old customs.

Now available On Demand and playing in select theaters is writer-director Fernando León de Aranoa’s A Perfect Day. Set in 1995 somewhere in the Balkins, the film follows a group of humanitarian aid workers over twenty four hours as they deal with an unexpected crisis, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and the reappearance of an old flame. Unlike most Hollywood films where one of them might need to diffuse a bomb or deal with an over the top situation they aren’t prepared for, A Perfect Day really wants to tell an honest story about the less-than-glamorous realities of life in a combat zone. It’s a nice surprise. The film stars Benicio Del Toro, Tim Robbins, Melanie Thierry and Olga Kurylenko.
