THREE CUPS OF COFFEE

TRZY FILIŻANKI KAWY

On the last evening of the year, the protagonist returns to the city where she once lived, to meet a man with whom she used to share a special bond. In the café where they used to meet regularly years ago, their conversation unfolds to the rhythm set by consecutive sips of black coffee. Three cups become the measure of this meeting – the time needed to recall memories, examine old habits, and try to make sense of what remains unresolved. Through glances, unspoken words, and awkward moments of silence, they make an attempt to come to terms with the past.
