Two teams from New England's non-professional league face off for the last time on a baseball field that is about to be demolished to build a school in its place. Newcomer Carson Lund delivers a sports film like few others in American cinema. Set in the 1990s, Eephus, which takes its name from one of the most elusive pitches for a catcher, recalls the intergenerational and popular dimension of sport understood as a collective experience that vertebrates an entire community, a vestige of an era on the verge of disappearing in the face of the idea of the game as a competition whose sole objective is triumph. It is not necessary to understand the basics of baseball to connect with the twilight emotion of the whole town saying their farewells in a game that they would never want to end.
