Looking for a French TV Movie

Hi everyone, I'm trying to identify a French TV movie I watched in the early 2000s (probably 2002 or 2003). It aired on Russian Channel One (Первый канал), most likely sometime after 8 PM. Here’s what I remember: The movie involves two characters playing with a regular die (dice). During the game, one of them nearly drowns in a swimming pool and ends up disabled — either paraplegic or in a vegetative state. At the end of the movie, the injured character is in a wheelchair and starts to laugh — not a joyful laugh, but a disturbing, almost traumatic one. The film had a dark and surreal atmosphere. It left a strong impression on me, and I’ve been trying to find it ever since. If anyone recognizes this movie or can point me in the right direction — I would be extremely grateful. Thank you in advance!

Hi there, do you remember in which French city did the film take place? or which French cities were mentioned if any? Also, if they were playing a dice game, was any gambling involved? where did the dice game happened, in a private residence? Were the dice players related?

You could also look into the wikipedia section of "Liste de films français sortis dans les années 2000" (=List of French films released in the 2000s). It covers years from 2000 up to 2009 included.( at fr.wikipedia.org)
