SYNOPSIS

Wheelchair basketball is often associated with disability sports. However, wheelchair basketball is a sport for both people with and without disabilities. Inspired by the dedication to wheelchair basketball of national team coach Lee Won-woo, known as the ‘fox of the court’ in the 1990s, and his protégé, coach Han Sa-hyun, this human-action sports story follows a middle-aged basketball star past his prime, an arrogant basketball genius, and men with rounded steel legs due to accidents. Together, they unite through wheelchair basketball to pursue their dreams.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Most people who play wheelchair basketball have disabilities due to accidents that could happen in everyday life. However, when it comes to adaptive sports, we tend to have a biased view, often staring with pity, simply because their bodies look a bit different from ours. But if it were our family, friend, or acquaintance on that court, we would look at them directly. That is because, just like us, they fight and compete fiercely on the court. This film is about discovering the reason they struggle and fight on the court, in their wheelchairs.
