Day of the Wacko
Dzień świra · dir. Marek Koterski
Poland 2002, 93’

Day of the Wacko is a sour comedy about Adaś Miauczyński ― a man, who sees each five minutes of his life as a journey through hell. The everyday rhythm of his life is dictated by his obsessions and phobias: he is both obsessed with numbers (numeromania) and an abnormal desire to wash (ablutomania). He has problems with self-acceptance and becomes aggressive, when coming into contact with other people. He dreams about finding a great love of his life, but at the same time runs away from anything that could develop into a stable relationship. And although Day of the Wacko presents only 24 hours in the life of our protagonist, it is enough for Adaś to experience all possible difficulties that make him a man dead tired of his life.
