Synopsis

Documentary about participants in the Over-80s Table Tennis World Championships. The film follows eight players from around the world, ranging in age from 80 to 100, as they arrive in Inner Mongolia to compete in the tournament. The story of the competition itself is interwoven with the back stories of the competitors and an exploration of the ageing process and what it means to grow old and face illness and death in a world obsessed with youth.
