Watch options. Storyline Edit. When a father turns 60, his large family gathers at a castle to celebrate him. Everybody likes and respects him deeply--or do they? The youngest son is trying to live up to his father's expectations; he runs a grill-bar in a dirty part of Copenhagen. The oldest son runs a restaurant in France; the sister is an anthropologist. The older sister has recently committed suicide and the father asks the oldest son to say a few words about her, because he is afraid he will break into tears if he does it himself.

The oldest son agrees without argument. Actually he has already written two speeches. A yellow and a green one. At the table, he asks the father to pick a speech. The father chooses green. The oldest son announces that this is the Speech of Truth. Everybody laughs, except for the father, who looks nervous: he knows that his oldest son is about to reveal the secret of why his sister killed herself.

Every family has a secret. Rated R for strong sexual content and language, including references to sexual abuse. Did you know Edit. Trivia Since this is a Dogme-film, there cannot be any non diegetic artificial sounds added, no post-production. The camera also needs to be hand-held. So when Christian falls to the floor in the reception and sees his sister, Christian himself had to hold the camera when falling.

To achieve the "dizzy" sound, the original cameraman swung the microphone around in the air. Goofs In an early scene, a cameraman can be seen reflected in a bedroom mirror director Thomas Vinterberg noticed this but kept it in. Quotes [last lines] [subtitled version] Michael : Nice one, Dad.

Alternate versions The DVD also contains an alternative ending. Connections Featured in Bag om filmen 'Festen' User reviews Review. Top review.
