A group of four Danish high school teachers try a controversial experiment: maintain a constant low level of alcohol in their blood to boost creativity, energy, and classroom performance. At first the days feel lighter and sharper, then boundaries blur as celebrations fuel reckless choices, fragile marriages crack, and professional lives threaten to unravel. Directed with warmth and wit by Thomas Vinterberg, the film blends humor and tragedy to examine midlife discontent, risk, and friendship, with surprising tenderness.
