Paramedic Vincentas is a passionate gambler who is forced to make radical decisions to pay back his debts. Then, an idea strikes Vincentas. He develops a highly successful and lucrative game involving betting on when patients are going to die, basing the odds on complex and arcane analyses of medical information to which paramedics have access. Love, life and death will be at stake. For his second long feature film, Ignas Jonynas delivers a provocative and compelling story. The Gambler, that won a Special Jury Prize in Warsaw, is a perfect example of how much you can do for a production with a relatively small budget.
