synopsis
Gaps appear in this disjointed story about two generations of losers, the older generation depressed because none of their dreams have been realized, and the younger actively suicidal in their flirtation with danger, death, and drugs. There are many scenes of the younger set shooting up, and the older generation is, in one instance at least, too jaded to care. If these messages were not bad enough, then the gaps in the action that leave the audience wondering "whatever happened to..." finish the film off.
