With the tagline ‘the most unfortunate comedy of the year’, Guinness takes an offbeat approach at illustrating how fickle luck can be – one moment you have it, the next moment it’s gone.

Threatened by his debtors, rocked by a broken heart and driven by greed, a charming gambler arrives at a middle-of-nowhere tavern in search of a case of gold. Instead, he attracts the attentions of the grumpy tavern owner’s unhappy wife, whose affection complicates his plan and perpetuates his spell of misfortune. Guinness was the closing night feature of this year’s Los Angeles Greek Film Festival where it also won the award for Best Dramatic Feature.
