Day of the Wacko (Polish: Dzień świra) is a 2002 Polish comedy-drama about a day in the life of Adaś Miauczyński, a frustrated, divorced, middle-aged teacher who suffers from OCD. Written and directed by Marek Koterski, the film stars Marek Kondrat, Janina Traczykówna, Andrzej Grabowski, Michał Koterski, Joanna Sienkiewicz, and Monika Donner-Trelińska.[1][2] It is the sixth in a nine-part series of films about the character Miauczyński. Each story showcases a different aspect or era of his life, often with little continuity between them.

Among others, Day of the Wacko picked up several prizes at the 2003 Polish Film Awards: Kondrat won Best Actor in a Leading Role and Koterski Best Screenplay. At the 27th Polish Film Festival, Koterski was awarded a Golden Lion and the award of the Polish Filmmakers Association for "creative representation of reality"; Kondrat won Best Actor and Maria Chilarecka won for sound.[3] The film received two Eagle Awards, for Best Leading Male Role and Best Screenplay.[3] Day of the Wacko was also awarded the Prize of the President of the Association of Polish People of Film.[4]
