Another Round

Jun 15, 2021
“Another Round,” is a comedy-drama about four colleagues and friends that embark on a life-changing experiment. The film is the Oscar® Winner for Best International Feature Film. Teachers Martin, Tommy, Peter and Nikolaj are colleagues and friends at a secondary school  in Copenhagen. All four struggle with unmotivated students and feel that their lives have become boring and stale. At a dinner celebrating Nikolaj's 40th birthday, the group begins to discuss psychiatrist Finn Skårderud who has theorized that having a blood alcohol content of 0.05 makes you more creative and relaxed. While the group dismisses the theory, Martin, who is depressed due to troubles in his marriage, is inspired and starts to drink at work. The rest of the group eventually decides to join in to test the theory. They agree to a set of rules but eventually abandon the experiment with devastating results.
