An offbeat look at four Crescent City layabouts, who dream big
in a 'small change' world of cards, women and endless cups of coffee. Their passionate
blundering, like their rants, can be at once funny, poignant, ridiculous and
heartbreaking. Ditch, their self appointed king, is an irascible son-of-a-bitch with a
Napoleon complex, and his pals love him for it. Until one day he pushes the self-tenured
Professor too far. A game of threats, posturing and sexual ploys lead them down a
dark but comic road in this exploration of what it is to be a man today. Filmed in black
and white, this richly textured character study could be the bastard child of Woody Allen
and Tom Waits, brought to life by an ensemble of real-life character actors who have
known each other and worked together for over twenty- five years.
