Photographed in timeless black and white and enriched by a snappy jazz soundtrack, Jan Ole Gerster's vibrant and charming debut, which swept the German Film Awards, is a slacker comedy with a poignant center, and a love-letter to the city of Berlin and Generation Y.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Jan Ole Gerster's comedy-drama A Coffee in Berlin stars Tom Schilling as Niko, a twentysomething slacker whose aimless life comes to a sudden halt when, in quick succession, his girlfriend dumps him and his father cuts off his only financial support. Soon, he encounters an old classmate who he used to torment, and this turns out to be a pivotal new relationship in his life. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
