Black Coffee

Synopsis

Sometimes you wake up with the wrong person. Black Coffee, a brilliantly improvised Scottish black comedy, deals with the hangover from the night before. John Dick wakes up, content with being unemployed. Lynn, an insecure rich bitch, finds herself falling in love with John, the 'journalist for the local paper'. Meanwhile, after years of marriage, Pat has had enough of Eve's too many late nights, leaving their teenage son, Ben, with the biggest hangover of all.

Through the psychoanalytic and introspective voiceover of a young post-pandemic Chinese migrant in Europe, the film interweaves her private memories of intimacy with public narratives of resistance. As her reflections unfold, she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement, all while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence.

Markus, a young man adrift after his father’s death, finds purpose in an underground graffiti partnership with his friend Sean. Their bold, politically charged street art goes viral, drawing the attention of the media, the police, and a calculating art dealer who sees profit in their rebellion. As their fame grows, so does the tension between integrity and exploitation, authenticity and corruption.
