Plot

Peco and Smile are two close friends whose only apparent similarity is their ability at the time-honoured sport of table tennis for, while Smile is monosyllabic and misanthropic, Peco is a wise cracking live wire. Together the two grow into young manhood and also the increasingly competitive world of ping-pong that tests not only their friendship, but also their belief in themselves. "Ping-Pong" is a delightful comedy drama; funky, fun, full of wise little asides and idiosyncrasies.
