As a woman enters the elevator of her residential building, she finds a vintage die lying on a wooden board on top of a pedestal with the phrase TRY YOUR LUCK engraved on it. She soon realizes that it is only by using the die, and not the elevator buttons, that she can move between floors.
Her first roll takes her to the 6th floor, where she encounters a Trump-like ventriloquist doll that keeps repeating a question. Die throw, 4th floor, where a little man with a whip manipulates a giant and aggressive fire breather. Die throw, 2nd floor, where as she tries to make her way to the stairs on the other side of the corridor, a clown blocks her way, stealing her purse and cellphone. Die throw, 1st floor, where a group of circus characters attend a contest for the Best Revenge Porn Photo. The winner: a version of her dressed in vintage circus clothes. The prize: a noose.
Freaked out, she tries her luck again: 5th floor, where a juggler does his act. Once he realizes she is in no mood to clap, he throws his juggling balloons filled with red liquid at her. In shock, she goes back to the elevator, slowly starting to figure a way out of this trap. Back on the 6th floor, with the ventriloquist doll, she hears the elevator panel glitch, turning the word “sixth†into the word “sexualâ€. She starts making her way down the corridor as the ventriloquist doll stops her, suggesting she needs to sit on his lap before going any further. She picks him up from his chair, puts him in the elevator and throws the die, finally moving towards the fire escape exit.
At the stairs, she hears the doorman calling her downstairs with a package. She goes down and picks up a large box. Finally arriving on her floor, she hears something moving inside of the box. She opens it and sees a crying baby boy holding a toy die. She takes the toy die and throws it away, suggesting they find another toy to play with. She takes the baby out of the box and walks with him towards her apartment.
