El éxito, un veneno irresistible.

A mbientada en el atractivo entorno del festival de Cannes, El vencedor está solo va mucho más allá del lujo y el glamour, y nos aboca a una profunda reflexión acerca de la fuerza de los propios sueños y de cuál es la escala de valores con la que nos medimos.

En su camino se cruzarán Gabriela, una joven y ambiciosa actriz; Jasmine, modelo de Ruanda exiliada en Europa; Javits, un productor influyente y corrupto; y Hamid, estilista que empezó de cero y está hoy en la cima de su gloria. La aparición de Igor cambiará para siempre las vidas de todos ellos.
