Divine Day
Santiago de Chile, March 1990. It is the first month of the first year of democracy in Chile after almost two decades of dictatorship. Journalist, Boris Berkowitz, is covering the International Air and Space Fair, FIDAE, where he meets a number of colleagues who are also covering the event. Among them is the British journalist Jonathan Moyle, sent by the specialized magazine Defense Helicopter World, and his former university colleague, Lara Eyzaguirre, now a lawyer for important entrepreneurs related to FIDAE. The newspaper for which Berkowitz works is in financial difficulty and is unwilling to publish the article he has written which speculates that the fair is a front for the illegal sale of weapons. The newspaper needs to attract new readers and not old problems, and Berkowitz is assigned to the Magazine section, where he will have to report on Santiago’s new nightlife scene which has flourished again with democracy. With Lara as a lover and advisor, he visits the Emmanuelle Night Club, where he meets its main star, Divine Day, the stage name of Daniela Casas, a young escort with an exclusive list of clients willing to pay a great deal of money for her company. After dispatching his report, Berkowitz finds himself drawn back to the Emmanuelle and particularly to Divine Day. The attraction may be mutual but the relationship can’t possibly have a future. Then Jonathan Moyle is found hanging in his room at the Carrera Hotel.
