The director and screenwriter Gela Babluani stars as Sebastien, a lean and hungry roofer in his early 20's from Georgia, the former Soviet republic, living in France.

Here he finds himself compelled to participate in a sophisticated variation of Russian roulette in which gamblers place bets on who will live and who will die in ritualized round-robin shootings; the hair-raising game culminates in a duel. The movie offers the ultimate comment on the depraved male appetite for dangerous thrills. It's extreme sports times 10, realized with the ruthless, smirking sang-froid of early Roman Polanski.
