Birthday Party (2026)

Birthday Party is a 2026 drama built around an extravagant celebration on a private Mediterranean island. The story follows wealthy businessman Marcos Timoleon as he hosts a lavish party for his daughter Sofia, bringing family members, associates and other guests together under one roof.

The seemingly celebratory setting becomes a pressure cooker as different characters arrive with their own interests and expectations. The film uses the confined geography of the island and the passage of a single evening to explore family tension, power, wealth and hidden agendas.
