Nando has worked as an electronics engineer, railroad worker, and bartender, but his real passion has always been dancing. He and his wife Katerina took part in all the dance marathons on the Riviera — of course, wanting to win. The family passion for victory was also passed on to Sandro, only his element is cards. Once he had a job, a girlfriend, a future. They were replaced by the card table, where Sandro hopes, taking a chance, to win everything at once, experiencing either euphoria, longing, or cold indifference. And now the prodigal son returns home to face his own fears. Marco Missiroli's novel is a journey through the deserted streets of winter Rimini, where even seagulls are silent, and the winding back streets of family relationships.
