Synopsis:

When the father of Maria, a young Greek woman, dies unexpectedly, she flies to Berlin to visit her elder sister Helena, whom she believes to be living and working as a successful dancer. The two sisters have not seen each other for years. It's not long before Maria discovers Helena's secret: she has given up dancing and is working as a «croupier» in an illegal gambling club in Berlin. She is also a victim of her own addiction to gambling. After many dificulties, misunderstandings and dangers, the two sisters become closer. Maria's brief visit in Berlin is not only a catalyst for Helena's life, but for Maria's own life too.

After the death of her father, Maria travels to Berlin to visit her elder sister Helena, a dancer, who she hasn't seen for years. However, when she arrives in Berlin she finds out that Helena has quit dancing and now works as a croupier in an illegal gambling club. As the two sisters' relationship gradually becomes closer, Maria must draw Helena away from the underworld and help her overcome her dangerous addiction to gambling.
