Overview

The mythical Uruguayan version of Saturday Night Fever, directed by J. Eduardo Ribero (yes, the one from Karibe with K), Sábado Disco Sábado Pachanga tells the story of a humble boy with a dream: to win the dance trophy. Faced with this desire, a businessman who will do everything to avoid his triumph takes precedence. With music by Rada, Psiglo and Diane Denoir, Sábado Disco is a film as disconcerting as it is unforgettable.
