A hilarious comedy about losers. Gambling has always been the main activity of an ancient noble Florentine family. But Bartolomeo, the last marquis, has lost all his properties. The only solution seems to be a journey with his friends, three common fellows, to Saint Vincent and an absolutely winning method to blow up the Casino. After a long, extraordinarily lucky night they are rich, but the game is not over and they will lose everything: poor once again with nothing left but their hopes tied to a lottery ticket.
