The Smell of Smoke tells the story of Dottie, a woman in her 80s who struggles with loneliness, and the frustration of being invisible to others. She wanders into the East Village bar where she and her late husband spent many nights with their friends, years before. As Dottie reminisces, time travels between the 1940’s when the world seemed to belong to herself and her husband, and the sparse desperation that the 1990s offers her. Jason, a neighborhood drug dealer, follows her into the bar. Charming and manipulative, Dottie is captivated by the male attention and Jason takes advantage.
