在柏林的一家大饭店里。那时整个德国笼罩着经济危机的阴影。在豪华的大饭店里麇集许多来自不同阶层的人物。其中有陷入困境而避风头的财界巨擘普莱辛格，心路无奈色衰而想自尽的芭蕾舞演员格鲁辛斯卡娅，心路被赌博弄得倾家荡产而偷窃为生的旧男爵冯盖根，普莱辛格的旧属风烛残年的孤老克林格兰，以及年轻漂亮但贪婪自私的速记员弗兰苓等。这部第5届奥斯卡最佳影片是米高梅在30年代初期首创“全明星电影”的代表作。全片以柏林的一家豪华大饭店为人生舞台，表现五组人物在同一天之中的离奇遭遇。叙事手法虽然中规中矩，但几位大明星的表演却相当精彩，充分掌握角色的个性和处境，其中有：面临事业危机的俄国芭蕾舞女星、嗜赌的男爵、患上绝症的小人物、企业家等。这些角色以三线交错的方式上演着人生的悲欢离合，剧情发展流畅，场景虽然局限在大饭店中，但人物穿梭流动自然。故事在后来的《柏林饭店》（Hotel Berlin）和《琼楼风月》（Weekend at the Waldorf）中再度出现，并被改编成百老汇歌舞剧。

回复 :Samedi lives in a village in Wallonia. He works from time to time as a gardener and has a close relationship with his mother. Everyday life in the village, which has seen better times, Samedi's quiet and friendly nature and the still largely intact rural setting stand in stark contrast to the heroin addiction Samedi has suffered from for over 20 years, which only his family knows about. His relationship with his mother changes when he makes another attempt to get clean. Paloma Sermon-Daï’s documentary paints a restrained, highly precise picture of a relationship marked by affection and love but which is also difficult to define in relation to Samedi's problem. As the camera observes the long, concentrated conversations he has with both his mother and his therapist, a picture of addiction comes into view which is part of a family structure. This becomes embedded in something larger in turn via the individual images of the village. Petit Samedi creates an image of dependence in which individual, family and social coexistence are intertwined, without falling into the trap of saying what might be able to solve the problem.
