As seen through the lives of people who might be considered a study of "lost souls." Transatlantic Coffee movingly reveals the loneliness, fear, and quiet desperation that that underlies a sense of emotional isolation, at the same time depicts the the interaction of functional and dysfunctional behaviors that serve as attempts to maintain, resurrect and keep alive basic values of hope, meaningfulness, and perhaps most importantly, interpersonal connectedness. The characters strive for a sense of self-understanding - and self-comforting - that comes close, but never truly connects to the extent that true satisfaction with life can be achieved. A complex intertwining, no holds barred, of honesty and self-deception, likability and rejection, hope and despair. DMR, M.D.
