The Day of the Cat

Directed by Wolfgang Panzer

With Bruno Ganz, Ulrich Tukur, Marie Bäumer, Edgar Selge and Justus von Dohnányi

The Swiss President, called by all only "big hangover", is in trouble: the election is coming and according to surveys his chances are not very good. From a meeting with the Spanish royal couple, he hopes media attention and a popularity boost. He does not suspect that his closest confidant Pfiff, of all people, is intriguing against him in order to come to power himself. But he does not even shy away from misusing his family for his own purposes. Soon, the president has to fight not only for his political position, but also for his marriage.
