synopsis

It is said that coffee has three flavours: bitter, sour and a final sweet aftertaste. Directed by award-winning director Cristiano Bortone, this film tells three moving stories set in three very different countries - Italy, Belgium, China - all connected by the element of coffee. The metaphorical thread of the film creates an emotional representation of the challenges our world is facing: the economic crisis in the West, racial clashes, ecological emergencies... Our planet is precious and can only be saved if we work together.
