Festa is a 1989 Brazilian comedy-drama film written and directed by Ugo Giorgetti. It stars Antônio Abujamra, Adriano Stuart, and Jorge Mautner, and was produced and distributed by Embrafilme.[1]
A professional snooker player, his assistant, and a musician are hired for a high-society party in a luxurious mansion. However, they are forbidden by the maître d' from going to the upstairs floor where the party is taking place: the snooker player and his assistant are forced to stay near the snooker table, waiting for any interested guest to play, while the musician can only go upstairs if called. The three wait sitting on a sofa, unable to enjoy the food and drinks served to the guests. Meanwhile, the snooker player's assistant manages to steal a bottle of alcohol, and the three drink in secret while they wait. The housemaid appears, and the three show some interest in the young woman. A famous television actor arrives at the party and passes through the lower floor of the house before joining the guests, causing a commotion among the waiters and staff. Two Italian waiters start a fight and are thrown out of the mansion. The musician, growing impatient, decides to go upstairs without permission and is severely reprimanded by the maître d'. The guests come down to the lower floor, surprising the three hired men who have already been waiting for hours. The host introduces the snooker player to the guests, who soon return to the upper floor. The party is ending, and the three receive their payment from the maître d's hands.[1] Day has already broken, and they prepare to leave. The film was shot entirely on a single set, which was the downstairs floor where the three men waited.[2][3]
