Warm and funny, but at the same time deep and very original drama. Sixteen-year-old Rile lives in the far north of Sweden. He is a lonely thick. At school, children make fun of him, everyone rejects him. He is nobody. But things turn around when he goes to play table tennis. Here he is the toughest king of table tennis. Rile's brother, thirteen-year-old Eric is charming, respected and loved by all. Although they are very different, Rile and Eric are of the same blood, at least that’s how they think. When boys learn the truth about their father during the spring break, they become deadly to the enemy.

Jensas Jonssonas gimė 1974 metais Švedijoje. 1994-1998 metais studijavo grafinį dizainą, o 1998-2001 metais režisūrą Dramos institute Stokholme. Jis piešė karikatūras įvairiems Švedijos žurnalams, tai paskatino jį kurti kadruotes. Per gana trumpą laiką jis parašė scenarijus ir režisavo daug trumpametražių filmų, tarp kurių buvo ir Tarptautinio Berlyno kino festivalio „Sidabrinio lokio“ laimėtojas „Mano brolis“ (2001). „Stalo teniso karalius“ – pirmas režisieriaus pilnametražis vaidybinis filmas.
