Day Off

Against the backdrop of Athens' bustling streets, a Greek white-collar worker starts his day off by doing various errands, and even though he hasn't worked all day, in reality, he is exhausted. Is this what his typical day off looks like?

Directed by Vasilis Vafeas, Day Off leans on a strong ensemble — Petros Zarkadis, Katerina Yioulaki, Dimitris Piatas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1982.
