Synopsis
It is said that coffee has three flavours: bitter, sour and a final sweet aftertaste. Directed by award winning director Cristiano Bortone, the film tells 3 very moving stories set in as many parts of the earth (Italy, Belgium, China), all connected by the element of coffee. Through its metaphorical thread the film creates an emotional representation of the challenges that our world is facing: western economic crisis, racial clashes, ecological emergency... Our planet is precious and we will only save it together.
