Match Point

Benn, a young tennis ball, starts to play the game of his life. That's where he meets Durlot and Winston, they tell him the bad news: the end of the game signifies the end of their lives. There is only one way to avoid certain death, reaching the hands of the spectators.
At the time Benn decides to ignore them but soon witnesses, during one of his games, the state in which the balls that could not fulfill their destiny find themselves in. Benn must reach the crowd before the daunting cry signals the end: MATCH POINT!
Many strong hits delay his achievement but Winston sees something special in Benn, that's why Winston sacrifices himself in order to give Benn another chance. Time seems to stop when Benn nearly crashes into a wall but is saved just in time by a fortunate hand that stops his fall. A little boy holds him and Benn finally gets his dream of playing forever more.
