Synopsis
Dario Lizardi’s life spins as randomly as in Ailén’s rollers, his slot machine. Everything he lost along his 35 years of addiction to gambling -what he wanted most, what he will not have again- has not been enough to keep him away from his obsession. Convinced that the more you know your slot machine, the closer you are to luck, Dario Lizardi dreams of the day when Ailén will give him back everything he has lost. To achieve this, he only needs to get a coin, lower the lever and make its rollers spin again.
