The film is based on a play written by Winterberg while working at Vienna's Burgtheater. Another inspiration came from Winterberg's own daughter, Ida, who told stories about the drinking culture of Denmark's youth. However, four days after filming, Ada was killed in a car accident. Following the tragedy, the script was reworked, shifting from a drinking theme to a celebration of vitality. Middle-aged male teachers initially possessed overwhelming power, which was reflected in the conservative and rigid teaching process in the classroom. Moderate drinking was originally for the release of some kind of vitality, whether it was the vitality of language, sense of humor or better communication skills. To save Martin's troubled marriage. But when the failure came, he stopped the loss in time. This process also witnessed how the vitality of adolescent children reversely activated the dead world of middle-aged people, especially the climax of the jazz and ballet carnival near the port at the end. The awakening of the flower girls rushing from the street car is not only their graduation ceremony, but also the "another round" turning point of the uncles' mid-life crisis.
