On the day of a father's unexpected death, six family members each seek ways to manage their grief. In the face of his sudden absence, the ordinary takes on heightened meaning. An ode to the beauty of life & death and the incomprehensible mystery of it all, THE DAY THAT is a poetic exploration that’s both profoundly personal and unquestionably universal.

After the lewd and frenetic Dance of the Seven Veils, and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé—encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias—commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter.

While serving life in prison, a young man looks back at the people, the circumstances and the system that set him on the path toward his crime.
