A story of a swindler obsessed with playing cards for money takes place in America of the early 1960s. Klar rhymes a chaotic use of images in the media epoch with a cunning cardsharping. The collage of comic books, pictures, photographs and adverts puts the viewer in an endless play of association which aims at a new form of illustrating digital processes.
Screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2012.
