The award-winning Smoke introduces us to the Brooklyn cigar store, owned by Auggie Wren (Harvey Keitel). Novelist Paul Benjamin (William Hurt) has suffered a personal tragedy and turns for warmth to Auggie and his cigar store, blowing ‘smoke’ and sharing stories.Auggie and Paul connect with other storytellers; a student who gives a different name to everyone he meets, a one-armed mechanic who delivers a self-scathing tale of woe (Forest Whitaker), and Auggie’s long-lost ex-girlfriend (Stockard Channing), who delivers a revelation from their past.

In Blue In The Face we return to Auggie’s cigar store, where he is joined by Michael J.Fox (as a strange man conducting a bizarre survey), Madonna (who delivers a singing telegram), Lily Tomlin (in search of waffles) and Roseanne (as Auggie’s wife).Characters whose only common link is that their neighbourhoods cross paths and alter each other’s lives. The mundane and the profound mingle. Life is in the details.
