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.

Jacob van Oppen, the former strongest man on earth, and his manager Orsini, who calls himself "the Prince", make a good living by traveling around small South American towns and organizing wrestling exhibitions. Arriving in Santa Maria, they are met with uncommon enthusiasm, the local newspaper wants to sponsor the fight, helping hands placard the town with posters, and an open call is made for a worthy adversary. Ever so resourceful, Orsini knows how to find the right combatant, but fishing in Santa Maria could lead to a bigger catch than he'd hoped for.
