Description

Young tutor Alexei Ivanovich is pulled into roulette addiction at a German spa, where unrequited love and mounting debt tighten around him. Dostoyevsky's study of compulsion, chance, and a mind losing its grip. Spoken as when one more spin feels like the only way to make love and money come true.
