The medical world is increasingly more clear about it: alcohol is bad for you, but there is also a theory that a modest amount of alcohol in the bloodstream is relaxing, reduces problems and increases creativity. Backed by this theory, Martin - another unparalleled acting performance by Mads Mikkelsen - and his three high school teacher colleagues embark on an experiment in which they maintain a constant and measured level of alcohol in their systems throughout the day.
Language: Danish and English subtitles
The initial results are very positive, the jaded teachers come back to life, and even the results of their classes improve. As the glasses start being knocked back at a rapid pace, however, some are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain control of the situation, and the experiment proves to have greater consequences than expected. To drink or not to drink, that's the question.
The film was directed by Thomas Vinterberg who won multiple international awards and is known for directing films such as Festen; Jagten and Far from the madding crowd.
