A Coffee in Berlin (Oh Boy)

Dramedy // Jan-Ole Gerster // 2012 // 82 minutes

A Coffee in Berlin is a self-deprecating portrait of a young man, a black and white tragicomedy that captures the challenges of modern life.

Niko, a man in his late 20's, is a recent college drop-out. Living for the moment, he is drifting through the streets of Berlin, observing people around him with curiosity as they manage their daily lives. During these observations, the existential quirks of modern life and the quiet chaos of coming to terms with adulthood are captured. Yet all Niko is searching for, is a decent cup of coffee.
