The Brooklyn cigar store owned by Augie Wren (Harvey Keitel) is a drop-in centre for all manner of local eccentrics. When he announces his intention to sell up to a health-food chain, his regular customers flood in to discuss the matter, at the same time delivering their idiosyncratic views on the world in general. This improvised companion piece to Smoke features a host of cameo performances from actors, rock stars, and the famous for being famous.
