Шестеро друзей, уставшие от нищеты и вечных долгов, собрали свои последние деньги и отправили самого удачливого среди них в казино сыграть в рулетку на счастье.

Друзья решили еще раз сыграть на удачу и испытать судьбу, разделив все деньги на шесть частей. Разъезжаясь, они договариваются, что встретятся через 10 лет.
