Dodi decides to participate in a longboard dancing competition. But there are two problems with his plan. First, being in his late forties, he is much older than his competitors. And on top of that, he has no idea how to ride a longboard. He befriends a teenager, Sandra, who is willing to teach him. Although the two don't seem to have much in common, while practicing together, they realize they both use longboarding to cope with their unsolved issues. And they can help each other to take their first steps toward healing. LAST CHANCE is a short movie about longboard dancing, parenthood, community, connection, and skating through the generation gap.
