Plot

New film by Liu Jian, director of 'Piercing' (2010), stayed in a official competition of 67th Berlin International Film Festival. In this animated film of gangsters with comedy overtones, his director offers a neo-noir whirl with which he consolidates his precursor style in the Chinese independent animation. The director shows an enthusiastic look to represent the urban landscapes in development through a cast of extravagant and aggressive characters that resemble the cinema of other terrible enfants such as Quentin Tarantino.

The rain is about to fall in a small town in southern China. In a desperate attempt to find money to save his fiancee's plastic surgery, Xiao Zhang, a driver, steals his boss a million yuan. The news of the robbery comes quickly to the city and, in the course of the night, everyone is looking for money and Xiao Zhang.

Trivia

Bas tittle

At the press conference for the movie's world premiere in Berlin, Jian Liu mentioned that he was not completely happy with the Chinese title the movie premiered with, "Hao jile" ("Excellent"), and was more proud of the English title he had given it, "Have a Nice Day", feeling it particularly appropriate because it alludes to how the events of the whole movie all occur within 24 hours.

Animations

Almost all the animations of this film were done by Jian Liu oneself.

Prohibited movie
