The Game

Synopsis

A speed chess tournament unfolds monthly, drawing notable figures from the cultural sphere for 35 years. Participants engage in a game that prioritizes enjoyment over competition. While some may view such hobbies as trivial, for the players, this activity often holds greater significance than their professional lives. The film captures these individuals in a setting that contrasts sharply with their public personas, documenting a unique aspect of cultural history where work is compulsion and play is freedom.
