Synopsis:
Piece By Piece is a short documentary about the resurgence of the Rubik's Cube and, specifically, the practice of speedcubing. Meet one of the original creators of a well-known speedcubing algorithm and the 1982 Swedish speedcubing champion. Meet a speedcubing couple, and hear about the cube's power to impress women. Watch different types of speedcubing, including one-handed cubing and the blindfolded competition, in which competitors memorize the entire cube before covering their eyes and solving it in under 2 minutes. The characters are quirky, real, and very different. Whether they are 11 years old or 31, clean-cut or covered in tattoos, these different characters will entertain as they explain what goes on inside their heads as they solve the cube.
