Another Round

Synopsis

In Thomas Vinterberg’s film "En runda till", a Norwegian philosopher claims that humans are born with a blood alcohol level that is half a per mille too low. Inspired by this theory, Martin and three of his friends, who are high school teachers, embark on an experiment. They see their lives as a series of trivialities, so this project might be just what they need. Vinterberg has described the film as a kind of tribute to alcohol.
