A Perfect Day

Friday, January 15 - Thursday, January 21, 2016

It’s just another day on the job for a band of badass war zone rescue workers as they defy death and confront war’s absurdities. In 1995, somewhere in the Balkans, Mambrú (Benicio del Toro), leads his team of humanitarians—including hard-bitten, wisecracking veteran B (Tim Robbins) and new recruit Sophie (Melanie Thierry)—as they deal with a most unexpected crisis, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and the reappearance of Mambrú’s old flame (Olga Kurylenko). Through it all, the group handles the less-than-glamorous realities of life in a combat zone the only way they know how: with selfless bravery and a healthy dose of irreverent humor.
