A comic series of short vignettes built on one another to create a cumulative effect, as characters discuss things as diverse as caffeine popsicles, Paris in the '20s, and the use of nicotine as an insecticide - all the while sitting around sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes.

What a load of rubish! The photography is good, the dialogue is crap. I just coulnd't watch it.
Boring, pretentious, empty.

Complete waste of time and a missed opportunity.
