A group of Copenhagen eccentrics find a therapeutic release and confront apathy via unacceptable, idiotic behaviour which they call ‘spazzing’.
With a large house as their base, they spend all their spare time together exploring the hidden and less appreciated values of idiocy. By accident Karen meets 3 members of the group and unintentionally she develops an appreciation of their antics. Soon she's drawn by the group's satanic games. She's attracted by their joy. And she becomes one of them. And then Stoffer decides that everybody has to undergo the ultimate test. A test that must be undergone at home, in front of their nearest and dearest, and which will separate the sheep from the goats. Only the seven strongest remain. Karen is the last one of the group to undergo the test. (www.sarto.com)
