A wedding is taking place in a stately house by the sea. In the dimly lit alleyway behind the house, there is great excitement. There are deliveries, cleaning, tidying, guarding and garbage disposal. From the janitor to the cook, from the cleaning lady to the manager, everyone is doing their best to make the celebration in the impressive estate an unforgettable experience. In the shadow of the festive villa, the servants try to secure their place in the strict pecking order. Condemned to stand in the background, they fight for their dignity and the respect of the strong and rich in the hustle and bustle of the hectic wedding preparations. 

When a strange woman suddenly appears in the backyard, the order slowly but surely comes apart at the seams. Heavily pregnant and carrying a heavy backpack, she seeks refuge in the courtyard. In exchange for protection and the bare necessities, she soon discreetly offers her help. As if by magic, the stranger weaves a delicate web of relationships and the lives of residents and staff alike begin to gradually change. Rigidity gives way to flexibility, unfulfillable wishes are soon fulfilled, and panic attacks are soothed by the power of the new life. 
While in the villa the wedding of the daughter of the house is celebrated with glamour, party hubbub and beautiful appearances, in the backyard the celebration of life takes place, with all its abysses and contradictions.

FESTE is a fairy tale without words for adults, in a poetic mixture of bitter tragedy and dark slapstick. A tragicomic story about the pursuit of individual happiness, but behind which lies more.
