SYNOPSIS

A film about a casino in decay and a gambler led to salvation by a dark angel under the guidance of the Master of Money herself: A film about the dark religion of money and capitalism.

An essay in black and white, about an Italian exclave in the heart of Swiss Ticino, the town of Campione d’Italia, where the architect Mario Botta built the largest casino in Europe, which went bankrupt and consequently plunged the community into despair.

But the ball is now rolling again, as always, in the casino, on and on, because: “The only cure from capitalism/ is more capitalism.” (Ja, Panik)
