Helge is turning sixty, and everyone is coming home for the party. His eldest son, Christian, whose twin sister, Linda, recently committed suicide, will raise the first toast… and reveal a shocking family secret. Trapped for 24 hours within the walls of the lavish country estate—rocked by revelations that shatter the veneer of respectability—even the disbelieving guests are choosing sides as the truth painfully unfolds. Adapted from the award-winning 1998 Danish film by the same title (released in the U.S. as “The Celebration”), Festen redefines tragedy for a modern age. For mature audiences only.
