Years ago Anton disappeared. Out of the blue he invited his family and friends to a party. But everyone's joyful expectation soon fades.

Years ago Anton disappeared. Out of the blue he invited his family and friends to a party. But everyone's joyful expectation soon fades.


"Waiting for Godot" meets "Festen" in PARTY OF EIGHT, the feature debut of German director John Kolya Reichart. Eight people come together on a farm in the middle of nowhere.


All of them are related by blood, friendship or love to Anton, who escaped his old life and disappeared some years ago and who has now invited them to celebrate his 30th birthday.


Anticipating the reunion with their lost son, they put old grievances and injuries aside at first. Yet as time passes without Anton showing up, frustration and anger resurface among those waiting. With old conflicts rising from the dead at every turn.
