A humorous documentary about film director Nicolas Winding Refn and his struggle to clear himself of a personal debt of DKK 5.5 million - to secure his family financially and help him get on with his life. Refn, noted for his debut cult movie »Pusher« from 1996, was forced to file for personal bankruptcy after »Fear X« (2003) failed at the boxoffice. His only chance to wipe the slate clean and continue his career as a filmmaker was to produce »Pusher 2« and »Pusher 3«. »Gambler« humorously portrays his ambitious project where there is no time for writer's block and where deadlines are to be met if money is to keep rolling in.
