A Coffee in Berlin

Niko is in his late 20's and recently dropped out of college. He lives for the moment, drifting through the streets of his city, observing the people around him with curiosity as they manage their daily lives, oblivious to his own growing status as an outsider. One day everything changes, and Niko is forced to confront the consequences of his inaction. His girlfriend ends their relationship, his father cuts off his allowance and a psychiatrist confirms his 'emotional imbalance'. Meanwhile, his new neighbour tries to get to know him and a peculiar beauty from his past confronts him with the emotional wounds he inflicted. And all Niko wants is a decent cup of coffee. THE great German film of 2012, "Oh Boy" has won numerous national and international awards. In a meticulous black and white, carried by an exceptional Tom Schilling, this film by Jan-Ole Gerster tells the story of the difficulty of finding one's place. “Do you know the feeling when people around you seem to behave in a strange way?” Niko wonders. “And the longer you think about it, the more it dawns on you that it's not other people who are strange, but yourself?' But no sooner has Niko articulated this epiphany than the day takes a tragic turn.
