A video game gone amusingly and philosophically astray: The tennis player character slips off the Centre Court into a parallel world and is robbed of his racket. The quirky match turns into a desperate journey of self-discovery outside the rules of the game. A pathetic Roger Federer, rendered in polygon style, stumbles over glitches and rowdy side characters. In Franz Impler’s 3D animation, the design looks like an undead remnant of the gaming past and becomes a subversive player.
