1950. A young man arrives at the secret funeral of Mr Quírico after having spent the previous 20 years abroad. No sooner has he arrived than an old aquaintance approaches and hands over to him a coin that takes him back to his childhood.
In 1931, when he is 11, the boy works in the Gran Casino as companion to the most prestigious gamblers of the time, where he finds himself immersed in the most bizarre bets ever imaginable. In an elegant and ostentatious world, everything in everyday life can lead to a bet. Everything is gambling and chance; the world seems to have gone mad.
