“A Coffee in Berlin” has some funny things to say about the “younger generation” and its prolonged adolescence, its putting-off of dealing with serious matters. - RogerEbert.com

---

Niko is in his late 20's and recently dropped out of college. He lives for the moment, drifting sleeplessly through the streets of Berlin, marveling at the people around him. With a quiet curiosity, he observes how they cope with everyday life while failing to notice how he himself is becoming an outsider.

But, one day, everything changes, and Niko’s forced to confront the consequences of his inaction. His girlfriend ends their relationship, his father cuts off his allowance and a psychiatrist diagnoses him with an 'emotional imbalance'. Meanwhile a peculiar beauty from his past confronts him with the emotional wounds he inflicted, his new neighbour - accompanied by meatballs and Schnapps - pours his heart out and, throughout the city, there doesn’t seem to be a single cup of ‘normal’ coffee available.
