From childhood games played against tenement walls to the sunlit spaces of Flamingo Park in Miami Beach, Fast Eddie, Shmatte Dave and Punch Shot Al have been playing handball for more than half a century. In this poignant and funny film, a tight-knit group of seventy to eighty year-olds interrupt their play long enough to talk about the sport they love. They recall games won and lost, tell of injuries on the court and sex after seventy, and reflect on their dwindling ranks.
