Another Round
One theory is that half of the world’s population is born with too much alcohol. The brain opens up to outsiders, so problems are smaller and creativity is greater. It’s a well-known fact that after a first glass of wine, conversation is easier and the world opens up. Martin works as a teacher in high school. Martin is tired and old. He is wanted to be terminated by his students and parents in order to raise their average. Martin, his colleagues and the per mille theory encourage Martin to try an experiment that would maintain a steady alcohol effect in daily life. What could strong alcohol do to help Churchill and his students if they won World War II under a thick fog of spirits? It is a positive start. Martin’s class has changed. The project is now being promoted as an academic study and collection of data. The alcohol slowly but surely makes their friends and the surrounding environment more relaxed. They feel more alive as the results keep rising. The experiment moves along for some and becomes more complicated for others. The results of alcohol in the world’s history are amazing, but daring to do so can have serious consequences. It is described as an entertaining, moving, and thoughtful drama about freedom, friendship, and alcohol. –Kenneth Kjaer
