A café in a little back lane in Tokyo has been selling properly made coffee for more than a century. However, this coffee shop provides its patrons with a one-of-a-kind experience: the opportunity to journey back in time. 

 

Before the Coffee Gets Cold introduces us to four visitors, each of whom hopes to take advantage of the café's time-traveling offer in order to confront the man who abandoned them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early-onset Alzheimer's, see their sister one last time, and meet the daughter they never had the chance to meet. 

 

However, the excursion into the past is not without danger: clients must sit in a certain seat, cannot leave the café, and must return to the present before the coffee becomes cold. 

 

See, I wasn't as fascinated as I expected to be when I read this—but I'm contemplating giving it three points just for the second half because Goddamn did that portion bring tears to my eyes.
