BITTER COFFEE

Highlights

A whimsical comedy about love. Maya and Renata have not seen each other for ten years, when they accidentally meet. To mark the occasion, they plan a trip to their hometown. They manage to persuade their partners. An at times hysterical summer-vacation begins, during which the protagonists learn more about themselves than they would have liked to: for example that you don’t need the things you wish for, once you’ve attained them. And how to tell somebody that you love them. The young Icelandic director, who came to the Czech Republic because of love, has made a feisty film about people like himself.
