Martin (1966-2002) introduces himself. More than three years ago, he was struck by a car in the city centre; he died of the injuries. Now he wanders the streets, unseen by the living, waiting to find out if he'll be sent up or down. He fills his days walking, going to movies, and thinking. He regrets that he didn't dispose of his stash of pornography - he meant to. His grieving widow found it. Every two weeks, he goes to grief therapy. He waits.

A documentary about pinball. “Let’s enter the magic world of pinball. From its early beginnings, through the golden years in post-war decades. Until its unfortunate decline in the nineties, and beyond… Let’s visit the manufacturers, let’s meet the designers, let’s take a closer look at the techniques, let’s meet the players, the collectors and the experts.”
In an era of digital, streaming, cloud-based, and electronic entertainment, pinball is a paradox. With most forms of modern entertainment downloadable to the palm of your hand, how does a 300-pound box of wires and lights survive, and continue to thrive?
