Tag der Teufel

Immediately after completing her studies in journalism, the young Penelope Jones becomes a reporter for a local city television station. Her first assignment is to shoot a report on the first Perchtenlauf in 10 years. During her research, Penelope comes across a crime that has long been well-covered up, in which very respected personalities of the city are deeply entangled. Despite all the intimidation and threats, Penelope continues her research. Her sharpest weapons on the winding path of the truth search are plenty of grips, a strong dose of ambition, their unwavering strength of character and a ravishing smile.

Directed by Stefan Peczelt, Elmar Weihsmann, Tag der Teufel leans on a strong ensemble — Christine Dune, Monica Baci, Vanessa Vee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2007.
