In his 50s, he is already old. He has worked in the Ministry of Finance for many years. His life has not changed. His work is just a monotonous repetition. The depressed will eroded his heart. The boring life makes him unbearable, but he has to continue. He carefully avoided contact with others. He always said nothing. When he endured the limit, he would go to the cafe opposite the Ministry of Finance for a cup of coffee.
On that cold rainy day, he walked into the cafe. The cafe is already full. He saw a young and lovely girl sitting behind a table. So I walked over and asked in a low voice, "Can I sit here?" The girl said, "Of course I can", and moved to a position closer to the inside. He sat down diagonally across from her. Then I started adding sugar to my coffee, three spoons of sugar.
She said, "Do you like very sweet coffee?" He said, "Today is a very sad day." She said, "The more you are sad, the more sugar you add?" He said, "Yes, but there is a limit. No
matter how sad it is, no more than four spoons." She said, "My former boyfriend didn't like sitting across from me. Because you will feel pressure. If you don’t mind, you can sit across from me. "
The love between these two people started so naturally. They don't know each other's identities, they don't know each other's origins. Just can feel the loneliness and kindness of each other. Perhaps in the cold rain, people's hearts are particularly easy to approach. Or it just happened that the two met in the cold rain.
Then, although he was still working for the government day after day, something changed him from the inside. He is in love. He had dinner with her; he told her that he had always dreamed. He said that the meaning of this dream was very clear. I did not become the kind of person I wanted to be when I was young. He invited her to join him to participate in Iceland. The G8 summit.
Then they got closer and closer, but on the other hand, the difference between them became more and more obvious. He obeyed the rules and followed the minister step by step. She is naturally free, kind and courageous, and dared to criticize the prime minister and minister publicly. Her maverick is especially prominent in front of the sleek and sophisticated political background, which is incompatible with this world. Political circles cannot tolerate such an elf, and she must be driven away. He had to choose whether to stay in the world he was accustomed to as his back, or follow her to leave. He is old, can he become the person he hoped to be when he was young?
The screenwriter of "Cafe Girl" is the one who wrote "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "True Love First" by Richard Curtis. In "Cafe Girl", he continued his elegant style, but the atmosphere of comedy was much weaker. However, when this love story unfolds in front of a cold political background, the purest emotions, such as love and ideals, become more rare and dazzling.
