Pelota II plot

The Danish filmmaker Jørgen Leth and anthropologist Olatz Gonzalez Abrisketa take us to the world of the Basque ball game pelota. This age-old sport – a kind of hand squash – can be compared with the Frisian hand-kaatsen. More than thirty years ago, Leth already made a film about pelota, but he is now back to highlight the mystery of the balls: “Each ball is an individual that leads a life of its own.” Every player has his own relationship with the ball.
