What would you change if you could go back in time?
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving
carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this
coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to
travel back in time.
In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is
hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to:
confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband
whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their
sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the
chance to know.
But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers
must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally,
they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
