PEOPLE ON SATURDAY

Synopsis

A sunny Saturday afternoon in Zurich. In the middle of a crowded square, a businessman is lying on a bench, seemingly asleep. Someplace else, a teenager is longing for appreciation. A commuter is fighting the ticket machine. The film shows ten tableaus of everyday situations in the city. The people in it are getting confronted with small or big problems; each one of them is a Sisyphos, endlessly rolling the little stones of daily life up the mountain.

Cast & Crew

Director's comment

The universally understandable images work like codes for our society, which can also be read by people in other countries. The audience is not limited by nationality, age or gender. We firmly believe that the film, with its unique combination of humour and social criticism, can address a broad audience, stimulate reflection and trigger discussion.
This project is to be understood as an essay film that combines staged scenes with documentary flair and an associative, sophisticated narrative structure.
