A chain-smoking trouble-maker enters a poetry contest at a local café, where he faces off against some heavy hitters including a handsome easy-going favorite. In the café, he makes friends with a blonde, who has relationship commitment problems and a political activist, who has another more personal secret. The film stays at the café and relies on its wordsmithing to keep the audience involved. —John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
