BOOK "The Love of the Big Balloon"

In 1985, a giant ball appeared in Quebec gyms. It was so unique that it gave birth to a whole new team sport: kin-ball. The love for this giant ball follows the Canadian kin-ball team as they head to South Korea in November 2024 to defend their world championship title. Through teamwork, respect, and the players' vulnerability, a deeply united group emerges. For some, it will be their very last competition. What emerges is a portrait of a generation of men who are reinventing masculinity with sensitivity, solidarity, and authenticity, one emotion at a time. Win or lose, these athletes are redefining together what it means to be strong, united, and human.
