A live, semi-documentary TV broadcast investigates why former prisoner Dr. Benet collapsed after defeating world chess champion Mirko Čentovič aboard the ship Victoria. The crew stages a detailed reconstruction of the fateful game on deck, interviews witnesses to piece together events, and deliberately blurs fact and fiction to draw viewers into Benet’s psychological unraveling and the deeper mysteries behind his victory.
