GOLDFISH

Sabrina, a feral child, just turned 6 and her parents are throwing her a party in their shabby loft in the desolate rug district. After the cake is eaten, the parents and their only friend Beth, wait for an aristocratic couple to arrive.

A husband surprises his wife with a romantic dinner at an extravagant restaurant. Across from them is a woman sitting alone that he remembers but can’t place. As his distraction persists his wife becomes increasingly irritated. While the evening unravels an ancient waiter serves as an enigmatic master of ceremonies.

After being jilted at the altar, Jaden is left to figure out love, life and romance again with support from his college buddies Tony and Maurice only to discover that the more you try to control life’s circumstances, the more likely you are to repeat the same mistakes. She Hates Coffee, a 21st century romantic comedy that explores our deepest feelings – the complexity of friendship, relationships and the consequences of decisions – and that’s just the guys talking.
