The Birthday Party

Synopsis

Late 1970s, somewhere in the Mediterranean.
Marcos Timoleon, an Aristotle Onassis-like tycoon is throwing a lavish, extravagant birthday celebration for Sofia, his daughter and sole heiress, on his exclusive private island. Used to ruthlessly controlling everything and everyone around him whatever the cost, Marcos is also secretly plotting a big decision on his daughter’s behalf. As guests start pouring in and the night moves on, the party grows rowdier and more decadent, while the inevitable clash between Marcos and Sofia thunders towards its shocking conclusion.
