Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film Double Play is a 2017 American drama film directed by Ernest Dickerson, based on Curaçaoan author Frank Martinus Arion's Dutch-language novel Dubbelspel.[1] The title Double Play refers to a move in dominoes where a player can play a final domino on either end of the snake, earning that team double points.
Plot
Ostrik, now a grown man working as a doctor in the Netherlands, returns to his childhood home on the island of Curaçao and recalls his experiences with his family and neighbors there during a time of colonial unrest in the 1970s. Each Sunday his father Bubu would play dominoes with his friends while discussing a variety of issues as Ostrik would observe. After chasing bus drivers away from an important location for taxi cabs, Bubu becomes the likely choice for president of a newly formed taxi cab union. That Sunday the union meeting for the election is scheduled to be held at his house but the drivers witness Bubu experiencing a day-long losing streak at dominoes and they begin to lose confidence in him until he gives a rousing speech about revolution. Before he has the opportunity to become president, he gets into a fight with the man his wife is sleeping with and loses his life. Ostrik returns years later to confront his father's killer over a game of dominoes.
