BENSONHURST, USA

In the late 1960s, a bunch of twenty-somethings find themselves trapped in the Jewish-Italian neighborhood of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

They hang out on stoops, drinking beer and smoking weed, while engaging in witty badinage to pass the dull time away.

One of them, an aspiring novelist, collects material for his autobiographical book by hanging out at the local pool hall, a den of iniquity and low-class characters that provide numerous examples of absurd behavior and jokes.
