(Minor spoiler alert)

This video discusses the notion of alcohol illustrated in the Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning film “Another Round” (“Druk”), directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang, and Lars Ranthe. Alcohol represents the bridge between excitement and alcoholism, but how do we recognise the side of the bridge we’re approaching? More about that in the video.
