People on Saturday

People on Saturday

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 tableaux of everyday situations in the city. The people in them are confronted with small or big problems. Each one of them is a Sisyphos, endlessly rolling the little stones of daily life up the mountain.

The Affront

The Affront

In anonymous administrative buildings, officials are confronted with dissatisfied, even aggressive citizens. Gradually, the cases start to add up and foreshadow bad things to come.
