Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) and his three teacher friends all seem to have hit a middle-age rut in their lives. When one of the group tells the others about an obscure philosophy proposingthat humans aren’t born with enough alcohol in their blood and so cannot reach their full potential, the men decide to test the theory for themselves.
