After WWII "Comisarul Moldovan" (Sergiu Nicolaescu, Petr Falc) spent years as a political prisoner of the Communist regime. The favorite entertainment of the Russian Colonel in charge of the prison was to have the inmates play Russian Roulette. Only his unbelievable luck and survivor spirit helped Moldovan live through his detention. Out of the prison the ex-policeman joins an international Russian Roulette illegal gaming circuit. In the late 1970s, faith brings him to a Central European town where Goldberg (Vladimir Gaitan, Cristian Motiu), an old acquaintance of his, is organizing an "improved" version of the game--where two opponents shoot each other. Step by step Moldovan meets lots of familiar faces, both friends and enemies and feels like he's in a reunion of the 1940s Bucharest underworld.—Noel Kardaris
