On 28 October 1998, at the age of eleven, Emanuele Camerini drew the five winning numbers from the wheel of Rome for the Lotto draws. That night he was the one who determined someone's fortune. Luck, the presumed cause of events and circumstances that cannot be explained rationally, oscillates between faith and superstition, between philosophical investigation and incessant individual research. Beginner's Luck collects a panorama of different documents and explores on multiple levels how the perception of luck influences our personal and collective behavior by analyzing how luck, be it an invention, a product, a promise or a belief.
