He explained that people should able to find his or her identity through the medium of coffee, soon after they saw the movie. “Filosofi Kopi” is produced by Glenn Fredly and Anggia Kharisma and played by Chicco Jerikho as Ben and Rio Dewanto as Jody.
“Filosofi Kopi” tells the story of friendship, love, soul searching, and how to deal with the past through a cup of coffee. It is based on Ben and Jody, who build a coffee shop called “Filosofi Kopi”, later known as a leading coffee shop in Jakarta (popularly known because they support and provide the best coffee beans from Indonesia). The challenge to create the perfect coffee brought them on an adventure that is full of bitterness yet unforgettable. The film is scheduled to be released in April next year.
