Enkele weken voor de zomervakantie trekt Tom Lawrence van Delaware naar Port Chester, gereputeerd om zijn stijlvolle High School. Hij komt er terecht op een campus waar eerder anarchie dan chaos heerst. Vooral de bende van James Andrews heeft lak aan het gezag van lector Garcia Thompson. Maar de vrijgevochten jonge vrouwen, net als een troep natuurminnende vegetariërs en de aanhangers van de Black-Power beweging, schijnen zich al evenmin veel van de universitaire discipline aan te trekken. Om toch wat vrienden te maken en tot de groep te behoren, helpt hij hen met de organisatie van een zeer belangrijke en hopelijk lucratieve fuif. Als de studentenvereniging niet snel een pak geld op tafel kan gooien, zullen de leden immers door de directrice van de universiteit op straat worden gezet.

On May 8, 1989, Sports Illustrated ran an article about Ultimate frisbee… about a team with no name hailing from New York City that was about to change the sport forever. From its 1968 New Jersey birth to its unanimous 2015 recognition by the International Olympic Committee, FLATBALL circles the globe to showcase four decades of world-class Ultimate and goes even further: to a set of fields in the Middle East to understand and demystify the unique spirit of the game.
THE INVISIBLE STRING tells the fascinating love story between human beings and flying plastic. The documentary takes the audience on a trip from the very beginning of pie pin tossing at the Frisbie's Pie bakery in Connecticut back at the turn of the century to the Rose Bowl World Championships in the late 1970s up to the hottest spots of today. It's a journey into the heart and mind of the people that started it all by inventing games, skills, and creating a global family. Rare archive footage of the 1970s and 1980s, when playing Frisbee grew to become a major alternative sport just as popular as skateboarding or surfing, alters with Monty Pythonesque animations on the joy of throwing flying objects. The most influential people give their personal accounts as remarkable stories are told revolving around living with flying discs.
