The Longest Game (The Longest Game) (2014)

In the picturesque village of Dorset, Vermont, twelve men get together every day at 1 p.m. to play a game called paddle tennis. Their average age is 81. Jokes are told, insults exchanged and a small, spongy ball is batted back and forth across the courts. The four walls of the Paddle Hut have heard some stories. The Longest Game is a poignant look at the joys of camaraderie, and the triumph of maintaining vigor in the face of advancing age. A meditation on memory, fantasy, time, love, death and paddle tennis.
