A Three-Day Weekend (1988)

Plot

Based on the beloved series "De Kollega's," this tragicomic tale follows a group of colleagues who find themselves trapped at work on an unexpected day off. When Armistice Day falls on a Tuesday, an anticipated ministerial decision grants them Monday off, but the news fails to reach everyone. Arriving at the office, they discover they're unwittingly locked in, with both elevators and stairs blocked. As frustration mounts, the forced interactions reveal hidden secrets, painting a less-than-flattering picture of their relationships. What starts as a simple mix-up spirals into a revealing exploration of camaraderie and conflict.
