"Sophisticated deadpan humor…"-Variety

Leonor and Rogerio celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary by hosting a party at their luxurious seaside villa.As the party wears on, Leonor finds herself pursued by an aging lothario, Michael -- a powerful, cunning man with razor-sharp wit.This game of cat-and-mouse heats up, leading to a wild and surprising revelation from the ordinarily passive Rogerio.

Award-winning writer/director Manoel de Oliveira -- best known for his sweeping epic, Abraham's Valley, and the lush, poetic The Convent -- crafts a humorous and emotionally charged tale.Party is a compelling portrait of the human condition drawn with Oliveira's droll sense of irony.
