The Last Day is a comic thriller about faith and infidelity, about forgiveness and punishment,” director and producer Gabriel Achim stated. Adrian, a man from a small town, decided to become a monk.

“It is contradictory how people are available for absorbing a lot of information about the world, but nobody is interested anymore in searching their own souls,” Gabriel Achim said. “In asking why we are doing what we are doing, what is the deep motor of our actions.
