Brooklyn, 1960s - At 12 years old, David Sabah feels trapped. The youngest of four in a traditional and devout Syrian Jewish family, his parents Esther and Eli hold him to extremely high standards, hoping to raise him into an ideal member of the New York Jewish business community. His oldest brother, Morris, diagnosed with schizophrenia, is locked away upstairs as a family secret, while his oldest sister, Vivian, was estranged long ago for her rejection of traditional Jewish values. Only his sister Rita remains in the good graces of the family, devoted to her role. Fearful of becoming a black-sheep like Morris and Vivian, he struggles to balance his pursuit of happiness and his filial duty as tensions rise amidst his family in light of a tragic loss. David finds peace through his love for baseball, and even more surprisingly, a natural aptitude for it. When David is offered a scholarship to play baseball for a college in California, all the way across the country, his family couldn't be more furious. Encouraged by Vivian to follow his dreams, he must decide whether carving his own future is worth cutting ties with everything he's ever known. But no matter what he decides to do, the greatest challenge he will ultimately confront will be his grief. Based on the life story of writer and director Albert Dabah, Extra Innings is a powerfully sentimental glimpse at the true human impact of mental illness on a family, and the complex condition that guides us all: Hope. 译文(2): 布鲁克林，20世纪60年代——12岁的大卫 · 沙巴感觉自己被困住了。作为一个传统而虔诚的叙利亚犹太家庭中四个孩子中最小的一个，他的父母 Esther 和 Eli 对他要求极高，希望把他培养成纽约犹太商业社区的理想成员。他的大哥莫里斯被诊断患有精神分裂症，作为家庭秘密被锁在楼上，而他的大姐薇薇安很久以前就因为拒绝传统犹太价值观而与他疏远。只有他的妹妹丽塔仍然在家庭的好的恩典，致力于她的作用。由于害怕成为像莫里斯和薇薇安那样的害群之马，他努力在追求幸福和孝顺之间寻求平衡。由于悲剧性的损失，他的家庭关系越来越紧张。大卫通过他对棒球的热爱找到了内心的平静，更令人惊讶的是，他对棒球的天赋。当大卫得到奖学金去加利福尼亚州的一所大学打棒球时，他的家人非常愤怒。在薇薇安的鼓励下，他开始追寻自己的梦想，他必须决定是否值得切断与他所知道的一切的联系，开创自己的未来。但无论他决定做什么，他最终要面对的最大挑战将是他的悲伤。根据作家兼导演阿尔伯特 · 达巴的生活故事改编，《额外的一局》是一个强有力的感性的一瞥，揭示了精神疾病对一个家庭的真正的人类影响，以及指引我们所有人的复杂状况: 希望。
