During one lunchtime at an offbeat London coffee house, the
relationships of the quirky staff and several couples are suddenly
turned upside down by revelations of supremely embarrassing secrets
and idiosyncrasies, generally having to do with their rampaging
sexual appetites.
A neurotic young commitment-phobe runs into his ex-girlfriend while
he’s whacked out on killer dope.
A high strung control freak finds out that her husband-to-be is a
transvestite.
A shy, hesitant young woman suffers the blind-date-from hell…an
obnoxious boor who has been told she sleeps with men on the first
date.
A hyper-possessive boyfriend discovers that his girlfriend is an
ex-porn actress; and the manager’s boyfriend has a ménage-a-trois
which he says is forgivable because the girls were identical twins.
As the craziness builds to hilarious conclusions, CAFFEINE
interweaves these characters’ hapless attempts to repair their
fractured relationships while they are forced to confront issues of
fidelity, betrayal, commitment and forgiveness. |
