Set in 1950s America, the film follows Marty, a table-tennis wonder whose talent vaults him into a surreal world of sports celebrity. His hunger to matter drives him toward spectacle, self-mythology, and eventual collapse. The trailer pulses between manic highs and bruising lows, cutting through smoky arenas, backstage chaos, and the intoxicating promise of greatness. A24 leans fully into heightened style: sweat, neon glow, and a protagonist spiraling toward a destiny he can’t quite control.
