"A family gather to celebrate their father's sixtieth birthday with a black-tie dinner, but a traditional party night of food, wine and song is shattered by some truly shocking revelations.

By the time the eldest son, Christian, has completed his speech in praise of his father nothing can ever be the same again.

Not for the faint-hearted, but not to be missed either."

Festen is based on the cult Danish movie of the same name, adapted by David Eldridge.
