Plot
Warning: spoilers
The Idiots Plot and Cast
These perfectly intelligent young people reject society's cult of aimless, non-creative, and non-responsible intellect by living together as a community of 'idiots.' Their main activity is going out among 'normal' people and pretending to be mentally incompetent, using the situation to create anarchy and, by every possible means, make those around them miserable.
