Source-derived summary

One Day in Europe is a 2005 comedy anthology film written and directed by Hannes Stöhr. It is an international co-production between Germany and Spain. The film had its world premiere at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Golden Bear award. It was released theatrically in Germany on 7 April 2005 by Piffl Medien and in Spain on 2 June 2006 by Notro Films.

Plot

One Day in Europe consists of four stories about communication misunderstanding which take place on a single day in four cities (Berlin, Istanbul, Moscow and Santiago de Compostela). The Champions League match between Galatasaray and Deportivo La Coruña which takes place in Moscow on that particular day only worsens the problem.

The film shows how four tourists in four places interact with the local police after being robbed or staging a robbery with the intent to collect a police report to be used to claim insurance. The football match actually plays a silent role in the film showing how the policemen are engrossed in the game and care little for the loss of the tourist.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “One Day in Europe” as 2005 film by Hannes Stöhr. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2005, 2006—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—2005-01-01, 2005-04-07—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where Europe, film and Hannes can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2005 film by Hannes Stöhr. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13655917. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2006.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
