Surreal, satiric, lightly erotic, and surprisingly spiritual, A Cigar at the Beach is a modern tale starring the male psyche, as a married man escapes the demands of domestic life through fantasy. High-octane bikinis! A Gypsy Siren! Adventure on the high seas—until The Wave washes everything clean.
THE SMOKER (Billy Gillespie)
“How strong that water is! So lethal and utterly fascinating. Could I take it into me and become a part of it? "
