Backed by a studio band, Hugh Laurie plays a solemn singer whose devotion to Steffi Graf goes far beyond appreciating her tennis. His romantic praise mixes sporting statistics with fantasies about the champion, making the performance sound increasingly like a stalker's confession. When a younger opponent threatens Graf's dominance, the singer's declarations of loyalty become violent. The polished staging and earnest delivery keep the unsettling obsession wrapped in the familiar form of a sentimental love song.
