JOHNNY BERLIN PART 2: NOTES FROM THE DUMPSTER, picks up right where the original JOHNNY BERLIN left off, right after the wannabe novelist's tour of duty as a porter aboard a luxury train ended. In the first movie, Johnny talks about wanting to go on a "writing sabbatical" to Cambodia, where he is sure he can live cheaply for months and have time to write his unfinished novel about a man who rolls across America. In JOHNNY BERLIN PART 2, we find Johnny lying in a hotel room bed, talking about how he gambled away almost all of the money he had saved for his trip while working on the train, and thus ended up destitute in Phnom Penh where he had visions of jumping off of a bridge into the Mekong River.
