Watch the first trailer for Willem Dafoe starrer The Birthday Party, which launched at the Locarno Film Festival last month on Deadline.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez directs the film, which is an adaptation of Panos Karnezis’ novel of the same name. Dafoe stars alongside Vic Carmen Sonne (The Girl With the Needle) and Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders). Emma Suárez, Carlos Cuevas and Christos Stergioglou also star.

Story is set on a secluded Mediterranean island in the summer during the late 1970s, where Marcos (Dafoe), an Onassis-like tycoon, throws a lavish and extravagant birthday party for Sofia, his daughter and sole heiress on his exclusive private island. Marcos, used to ruthlessly controlling everything and everyone around him, 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.
