over the weekend?

It can be difficult to perceive the meaning of some expressions from time to time. This is one of them.
The speaker doesn't give a time in particular. Just ''over the weekend." Can we make such a comment as: "towards the evening at the weekend"?

Over the weekend" means during the whole weekend. It refers to whichever weekend, past, present or future, that the speaker intends it to mean.

"Over a weekend" means during a whole weekend. It's not specified which weekend, so it probably means any weekend.

think it would only refer to one particular weekend. It generally refers to all of the weekend, however you choose to define that, but may seem to have different meanings. I was in Paris over the weekend. I was probably in Paris from Friday to Sunday. I'm going to visit Patsy over the weekend. Sometime between Friday and late Sunday I'll visit Patsy, but maybe for only a very short time.

This doesn't make sense because the weekend has several evenings.
