Czekając na sobotę

Overview

A documentary about boredom in the Polish countryside. There, where fate has left people with hopelessness and an incredible unwillingness to do anything but wait for that one day— Saturday. As the film's protagonists say, Saturday is a day of fulfillment, charging up for the upcoming monotonous week. It's a day of relaxation, drinking, and watching the erotic show in the local dance club. The meaning of life boils down to waiting. Waiting and looking for a buddy who can be convinced not to drink and drive his beat-up old car to the party on Saturday. Saturday is magic, the prose of life, and the only goal.
