Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Four researchers are stuck in Antarctica for 6 months over winter. One of them finds an unchecked Lotto ticket in his pocket and asks if the rest of them want to "buy in" (which they do with their precious chocolate biscuits, the currency of Antarctica) But they decide not to check the results and spend the next 6 months dreaming about what they'll do if they win...

Cultural / Context information for the jury

It's an odd behaviour, but many Lotto players put off checking their ticket to give themselves longer to imagine. So for the first time, instead of focusing on "the win", we focused on the fun that can be found in "the wait".
