The Idiots
Concerns a group of people who live in a villa in a small Danish town who share one interest: idiocy. Civilised and intelligent they pretend otherwise, and embark on adventures to "get in touch with their inner idiot" with bizarre, hilarious and confronting consequences. A real gem from Lars Von Trier using the Dogme manifesto.
