Another Round (Druk) is a Danish drama film directed by Thomas Vinterberg, starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang, and Lars Ranthe. The film explores the lives of four middle-aged high school teachers who decide to experiment with a theory suggesting that maintaining a constant blood alcohol level can improve their lives.

Led by Martin (Mads Mikkelsen), a history teacher facing a midlife crisis and a sense of monotony in his work and personal life, the group begins consuming alcohol during the day to see if it enhances their creativity, productivity, and happiness.

At first, the results seem promising, as the men become more engaged and energetic, feeling a renewed sense of purpose. However, as their drinking escalates, the experiment spirals out of control, leading to both personal and professional consequences.

The film is a thoughtful meditation on the challenges of aging, existential crisis, and the pursuit of happiness. Mads Mikkelsen’s performance is particularly praised for its emotional depth, especially in conveying the complexities of a man struggling to find meaning in his life.

Another Round received widespread critical acclaim, winning the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in 2021. The film’s balance of humor, drama, and poignant reflections on life’s ups and downs makes it a compelling exploration of human vulnerability and resilience.
