200 Cigarettes

It's 1981. Assorted characters and stereotypes make their way, mostly in groups of two, to a New Year's Eve party in New York City. Among them are the lovelorn, the desperate, the naughty, the clumsy, the arrogant, the poser, and the sex-obsessed. Nobody wants to get to the party too early, so they stop off at bars or cafes to talk, whine, drink, smoke, flirt, fight, make out, and pick up strangers. Meanwhile, the hostess (Martha Plimpton) becomes increasingly panicked as the hours go by and no one shows up. It's a free-for-all of people on the edge of adulthood taking another fling at despair. Until the very last moment (and maybe even past that), it's never certain whose paths will cross, whose hearts will be broken, and who will hook up for another empty one-night stand.
