The Gin Game background

The Gin Game

Weller Martin faces a formidable opponent in a game of Gin, only to find that the true test lies beyond the game's strategic nuances.

In the old folks' home, Weller Martin, struggling with the effects of aging, forms an unlikely bond with Fonsia Dorsey, a diabetic resident. They engage in a game of Gin Rummy, during which they candidly discuss their frustrations with society, hospitals, finances, family, and their living situation. As Fonsia, a novice player, quickly becomes a winning streak, Weller's temper is put to the test.
