Day is Done combines answering machine messages with the view out of Imbach's studio over a period of 15 years.

The film tells the story of a middle-aged Swiss man named Rolf who returns to his hometown after a long absence to attend his father's funeral.

As he reconnects with his past and tries to come to terms with his father's death, Rolf is forced to confront unresolved issues from his childhood and grapple with the challenges of growing older.

Swiss filmmaker Thomas Imbach is noted for his exploration of themes ranging from toxic masculinity to introspection.

"Measured against his entire body of work, Day Is Done may be Imbach’s premier achievement as an auteur."
