Another Round (Chlast)

From birth, a person lacks 0.5‰ of alcohol in the blood to be happy. It’s time to fix it! Cruel Nordic comedy.

Four friends, high school teachers (history, music education, physical education and psychology) resigned long ago from their life goals and dreams in the work and private spheres. Burnout has caught up with them, so they survive in the monotonous stereotype of daily duties. Until one day, at the 40th birthday party of the youngest of them, they learn about a peculiar theory of a Norwegian philosopher. It claims that a person is born with a deficit of half a percent of alcohol in the blood. If it is supplemented, life would immediately be more colorful, person would have much more self-confidence, one would be more creative and generally more satisfied and happy. Due to the stagnation of their lives in the work and private spheres, as well as the longer-lasting resignation to all their life goals and dreams, they decide to verify this experiment in practice. After all, there must be something to it, after all Winston Churchill, Arthur Rimbaud, Ernest Hemingway, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jackson Pollock, Charles Bukowski and many others had alcohol in their blood practically all the time. So Martin, Nikolaj, Peter and Tommy buy alcohol and breathalyzers. The experiment can begin… It seems that the theory really works! So what about increasing the doses? Logically, the amplification of all those positive results should also come. And then it remains to work on the so-called ignition!
