13 Tzameti

13 Tzameti follows Sebastien, a young Georgian immigrant in France who scrapes by doing manual work. While repairing a roof, he learns of a letter that seems to promise a large sum of money. After the homeowner dies, Sebastien takes the envelope and decides to follow its instructions in the hope of a windfall, even though they were meant for someone else. The trail of clues leads him to an isolated house, where he stumbles into an underground gathering. What awaits him there is a clandestine world in which men wager on the lives of others, and he is drawn into a dangerous game with no clear way out. A police officer named Gerard Dorez, meanwhile, is tracking him.
