DESCRIPTION

Alcohol is a culturally acceptable form of entertainment, celebration, relaxation. In the case of the four teachers, it also becomes the subject of an experiment – they decide to drink, but only during working hours and only enough to keep themselves constantly on a raucous high, strictly adhering to the half-promil blood content recommended by Norwegian psychiatrist Finn Skårderud to make up for the deficiency. Does alcohol combined with job burnout, crisis of masculinity and midlife crisis have a chance of success? Will the emotional baggage the characters carry enable them to maintain control of the experiment and what will be the outcome? Vinterberg himself dedicated the film to his late daughter Ida. “It’s not just a film about drinking. Our ambition was to make a film about living, ” said Vinterberg.
