The Long Game follows Peter Donaldson, a 67-year-old Irishman who, after a lifetime defined by competitive rowing, including a Guinness World Record Atlantic crossing, finds a renewed sense of purpose in the quiet precision of lawn bowls.

As retirement reshapes his identity, Peter discovers that the discipline, resilience, and camaraderie that once carried him across the ocean now guide him on the bowling green.Through intimate moments on and off the green, the film explores ageing, community, and the enduring human desire to keep moving forward, proving that some of life's greatest victories come long after the finish line.
