Plot

In the alluring serenity of the Italian Riviera, a group of friends settle into a majestic seaside house, intending to bask in the summer sun and revel in companionship. Among them is Matteo (Massimo Poggio), a respected psychoanalyst, and his wife, Francesca. Yet, the tranquil facade of their vacation is disrupted by the arrival of David (Thyago Alves), the college student and model son of their close friends, Shary and Diego. David, though young and seemingly carefree, stirs an unexpected and confounding longing within Matteo. Matteo finds himself in a labyrinth of emotions, his affections for his best friend's son growing stronger and more unsettling with each passing day. David, for his part, appears to reciprocate Matteo's fascination, adding fuel to the burgeoning flame. Francesca, though unable to pinpoint the exact cause, begins to sense a shift in their once blissful marriage. The light-hearted banter and peaceful silence that once filled their summer home now carry an undercurrent of tension and secrets waiting to burst at the seams. The arrival of David's mysterious uncle Leonard further complicates the delicate balance. Navigating through the maze of silence and tension, Leonard begins to perceive the web of unsaid emotions and hidden desires. He thinks he understands the silent storm brewing in the paradise, but is he right? As the summer progresses, the vacation threatens to leave indelible marks on everyone involved, altering their lives in ways they could never have anticipated. David's Birthday (2009) is a captivating exploration of forbidden emotions, silent tension, and the profound impact of unspoken desires.
