Ballad of a Small Player

You sit at the baccarat table every night with money you don’t own, and then you notice her. The dealer deals and you watch the cards skip past your fingers. Outside the neon hums like a second pulse. A director from the Berlin School frames these moments in quiet close-ups that linger past the sound of chips.
