![The Birthday Party](https://i3.wp.com/image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185/qgPV2nIX4i7pmoUF3ds6PBjBrhB.jpg)
Plot
Based on Harold Pinter's enigmatic play about a boarder in a British seaside dwelling who is visited by two strangers. They torment him verbally, ask him idiotic unanswerable questions, force him to sit down and stand up, and give him a "party". Then, eventually, they take him away, a tongue-tied idiot. The trivial becomes the terrible, and with it a certain wonder, a certain pity.
