The Birthday Party (Histoires de la Nuit)
Léa Mysius, 2026
Thomas, Nora and their teenage daughter Ida live on remote marshland. Social contact is limited, as they only have one neighbour, Cristina, an Italian painter. As the two households plan a surprise birthday party for Nora, strange disturbances begin to occur and unease rolls over the marsh.
Léa Mysius (Ava, The Five Devils), one of the most distinctive voices in French cinema, returns with a chilling home invasion thriller starring Hafsia Herzi, Benoît Magimel, Bastien Bouillon, Monica Bellucci, Tawba El Gharchi, Paul Hamy and Alane Delhaye.
