Bastien Semenzato

A Swiss crime thriller and psychological drama with a difference - the action follows a high stakes poker game secretly watched by the police. Half a million francs are in the pot but more than just money is at stake.

Coelio desperately tries to win the heart of Marianne, the wife of Judge Claudio. On a bridge, he wants to commit suicide, but he runs into his friend Octave, who is returning from a carnival - drunk as usual. Octave agrees to act as matchmaker for Coelio.
