Tomorrow - that's today

[Julianna Bores]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is what it could refer to, but it's a guess. In the
Soviet cartoon "Tridtstat vosem popugaev" (Russian: "38 Попугаев," English:
"38 Parrots"), there is an episode created in 1979 called "Zavtra budet
zavtra" (Russian: "Завтра будет завтра," English: "Tomorrow will be
tomorrow"). In this episode, animals discuss what is today and what is
tomorrow, and the little monkey is convinced that tomorrow is actually
today. Although the cartoon is in Russian, which may exclude it as the
source of a quote from a Polish film, it's worth watching if you have the
time.

Wikipedia gives a short overview of the cartoon here:

The 9-minute cartoon can be seen here:

All the best,

Julianna Bores
