Coffee in Gdańsk

About This Movie

So, 'Coffee in Gdańsk' is this intriguing little drama set in 1968. You’ve got a young Swedish sailor who wakes up in Gdańsk next to a woman, and it unfolds from there. The pacing feels almost languid, letting you soak in the atmosphere of the time. There’s a palpable tension in the air, a mix of personal connection and historical weight. The scenes where the woman’s brother guides the sailor are particularly striking, with those quiet moments that resonate. It’s fascinating how something as simple as a need for coffee spirals into deeper themes of longing and connection. The performances are understated yet compelling, allowing the story’s richness to breathe. Definitely a unique cinematic experience.
