Jury statement: An exciting and distinct cinematic exploration of manhood, competitiveness and the progression from innocence to toxicity, of the games we play.

Duhovit dokumentarec, ki nas pelje preko fizične do mentalne igre, dokler tudi igra sama ne izgine in v njej ostane samo pesem. Bivanjsko tesnobo, ki jo povzroči odsotnost Igre, avtor z ironično avtosamorefleksijo izkoristi, da se skupaj z njim spomnimo Igre, igranja in igrivosti.
