Of late I´ve been occupied with the rise of the Eastern European Filmmakers, people my age who were born near the end of communism and have come of age in the aftermath of this fall.

Exploring a generational rift between a father and a son in a coffee shop colored in various shades of gray and brown. It is a changed world…but is it really?
