Synopsis: First hint: an invitation to rapture. Who is crazy ? The one who is belived to be or the one who knows ? Who knows ? The beggars and the yokels will suffer in this Helvetian tale in wich the beautiful, sensual and cruel protects her innocence. Pointpoirot, the agitated Emil, accomplice to all beauties, dazzling or impassive, will know how to win his freedom by livening up the banquet of the damned.
Second hint : a political fable . In a non-existent Switzerland, overrun with military, the heiress is content, the family schemes and the State plots. Innocence and insanity are instruments of manipulation. Next year in Switzerland if all goes well.
Third hint : a crime drama . A young woman thinks tomorrow will be the best day of her life. Inadvertandly, she massacres her entire family, who, beyond all proprieties, had hired a killer - a liberated asylum lunatic - to execute the beautiful women. Two inspectors decide to wait. All is written, all is willed, they will all die under the knowing eye of a docile police, as neither angels nor demons see a trace.
My answer : THAT DAY
