A Group of Eight global players representing eight nations entangled in an absurdist political gamble with the truth. The dealer spins the roulette and reads cards of facts that define the game and create turmoil on the table. Austria is about to lose, and things turn ugly. The game becomes reality that nobody can escape.
This is a hybrid film, a documentary disguised as tragicomical fiction. The film releases unpublished historical documents on a cold case of high level espionage that crushed the international intelligence system by mistrust and lies. The time is 100 years ago, or today.
