Maureen O’Connell’s hilarious road comedy, “Spa Weekend” is fast becoming the darling of the Festival circuit having recently won Best International Feature Film at the 2020 Polish International Film Festival, after premiering in 2019 at the Female Filmmaker Festival in Berlin, where it picked the Spirit of the Festival “She is On Fire Award.”
In “Spa Weekend,” a down on her luck actor desperate for a break, goes down her list of friends and finds that no one is available to celebrate her birthday and go camping. Her only taker is an old actor friend she hasn’t seen in a while who is equally down on his luck and who finds her promise of a “spa weekend” to be very enticing. Little does she know that her friend is not just available for a getaway, but he’s being followed by his drug dealer/landlord to whom he owes a year’s worth of hash and rent money.
