Leaving November 30

1h 56m
Directed by Thomas Vinterberg • 2020 • Denmark
Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang
Four friends, all teachers at various stages of middle age, find themselves stuck in a rut. Unable to share their passions either at school or at home, they embark on an audacious experiment: to see if a constant level of alcohol in their blood will help them find greater freedom and happiness. At first they each discover a newfound zeal, but as the gang pushes their experiment further, issues that have been simmering for years come to a head. Bolstered by delicate camerawork and a fierce and touching performance from the ever-surprising Mads Mikkelsen, director Thomas Vinterberg uses this bold premise to explore the euphoria and pain of an unbridled life.
