Winner of Best International Short Film at 2021 Toronto Film Festival, Best Nonfiction Short Film at 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

A docu-fiction film that recreates actual events with the real people, combining real footage from the present. In post-war Kosovo, two local ping-pong players and their club practice in difficult conditions: they wander with their club from one obscure location to another carrying with them the only possession of the club - their tables. The uncertainty of their harsh situation is juxtaposed with the meditative and mesmerizing rhythm of the game. The hybrid form of the film allows the filmmakers to express concerns about migration, alienation and a general sense of hopelessness that pervades life in post-war Kosovo.
