The Idiots

A disparate group of adults, feeling stifled by societal norms, comes together in a quest to find their 'inner idiot.' They aim to disrupt societal expectations by embracing absurdity and shedding their inhibitions through outrageous public acts.

The group decides to enact their concept of 'spassing' at a local restaurant, where they disrupt the peace and provoke reactions from unsuspecting diners. Their behavior is barely controlled by their handler, Susanne, as they pretend to be mentally impaired, which elicits a range of responses from patrons.

Among the diners, Karen, a single woman, misinterprets the group's antics as a genuine condition, feeling sympathy for them. One member of the group goes so far as to take her hand, leading her into what she believes is a sincere connection.

As the group ushers Karen into a taxi, the atmosphere is riddled with confusion. It isn't long into the ride that Karen starts to piece together the reality of the situation, transitioning from sympathy to discomfort as she realizes the absurdity of their ruse.

The taxi ride culminates at a sprawling house that belongs to Stoffer's uncle, where the group's absurd activities continue. Karen finds herself in an environment filled with chaos and unconventional antics, drastically shifting her initial perception of the group.

The group's continued antics, defined by their concept of 'spassing,' reflect a deeper dissatisfaction with how society perceives individuals with disabilities. They seek to provoke societal outcry and challenge established norms, creating an atmosphere of bizarre rebellion.

At Stoffer's birthday party, the absurdity reaches new heights when he whimsically expresses a desire for a 'gangbang.' This unexpected proclamation leads to a chaotic group dynamic, where some members partake while others, including Karen, choose to withdraw.

Confronted with the challenge of living out their idiocy in daily life, most group members opt to leave, resulting in a disbandment of sorts. This turning point highlights the contrast between Stoffer's ideals and the group's willingness to embrace or reject them.

Unlike her companions, Karen embraces the challenge of self-expression and absurdity. She invites Susanne to her home, aiming to explore their newfound understanding of living freely, even if it means confronting the potential consequences.

Upon arriving at Karen's home, Susanne and Karen are greeted by the shock of her mother. The tension is palpable as Karen has been missing for two weeks following a significant personal loss, and her return with no explanation raises countless questions.

In a bid to fully embody the 'spassing' mentality, Karen makes a clumsy attempt to behave foolishly at the dinner table. However, her effort explodes into chaos, as she is met with unexpected violence from her husband, Anders, plunging her deeper into conflict.

After the volatile encounter with her husband, Karen and Susanne make the decision to leave the family home. They step into the unknown, driven by a desire to explore their identities and the meaning of freedom away from societal pressures.
