Краткое содержание

Элегический, мягкий, добрый и полный сострадания рассказ о жизни двух старых сестер. В самом начале картины зритель видит их в черно-белом изображении юными, полными надежд и сил. Они с восторгом наблюдают за китами, подходящими к острову Мэн в августе. Затем изображение незаметно наливается цветом, и мы видим этих же женщин уже престарелыми, и ясно, что смерть не за горами. Куда же улетела целая жизнь и что она с собой унесла? Одна потеряла на войне любимого, другая ослепла, мы знаем, что у нее не сложились отношения с дочерью. Слепая пользуется своим положением и слегка терроризирует свою сестру, но связывает их большая любовь и… одиночество. Август. И так хочется снова увидеть китов…

Ping Pong
Les D'Arcy is a living legend. At 89 years old, he's obviously not received the memo about slowing down, and is going for gold, literally. He's headed to China to compete in the over 80s Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia. A seven time world champion, he still lifts weights to train - something he's been doing for decades, after surviving a sickly childhood. Of course compared to some, Les is a spring chicken. Australian legend Dorothy deLow is 100, and finds herself a mega celebrity in this rarefied world. She'd better watch out though- Texan Lisa Modlich is fifteen years her junior and is determined to do what it takes to win her first gold. Director Hugh Hartford follows eight players from five countries, as they prepare to compete in this extraordinary sporting event that is as much about the tenacity of the human spirit as it is about taking home the title.
