Fyodor Dostoevsky is the main Russian writer, a master of psychological prose and an expert on hidden human passions. One of which – gambling addiction – I myself was at one time susceptible to. Alexey Ivanovich, a simple home teacher,... lives with the family of an elderly general in a luxury hotel in the German resort of Roulettenburg. While all the gentlemen are waiting for the death of the general's rich Russian aunt in order to receive their inheritance, the main character is drawn into a painful love relationship, which is based only on pride and calculation. He desperately tests fate and luck at roulette. After all, “money is everything!”, or not?
