At a dinner celebrating Nikolaj's 40th birthday, the group begins to discuss a theory inspired by the work of psychiatrist Finn Skårderud—that humans are born with a blood alcohol content (BAC) deficiency of 0.05%, and that being at 0.05% makes one more creative and relaxed.

Within a short period of time, all four members of the group find both their work and private lives more enjoyable and successful.
