In the landscape of Irish sport, Handball is an island within an island. Once hugely popular, it has since fallen into obscurity. Today the countryside is littered with abandoned alleys and crumbling old walls, the remains of a once great game whose time would appear to have passed. Less than 10,000 players remain. These athletes strive for immortality in a game most consider “dead”.
Handball was invented in Germany on October 29, 1917. Initially as a women's sport and later as the well-known, fast and competitive game that has clearly become the number two ball sport in Germany after soccer. This film delves deep into the archives and traces the eventful past of handball. It spans the arc from the 1936 Olympic victory to the 1978 and 2007 World Championships right up to the present day. The sensational success of the German handball team, who surprisingly became European champions in Poland in 2016, forms the backdrop.
This film presents the history of handball and acquaints viewers with this sport using a story from the life of children. It provides information on Czech successes in handball and presents this sport as being suitable for any playing field, even a small one.
