An experimental sports film made partly during the Scandinavian Open Championships in Halmstad in 1970, partly during the Chinese players' exhibition tour in Denmark immediately after the Cultural Revolution. In the film, Jørgen Leth records, first of all, China's return to the world of international sport, as we see the highest level of ping-pong players showcasing their unique style.
