The content of the film is beyond explanation. It is an experimental film that completely stands for itself. The film discusses the meaning of the term "Kaffeefahrt" (coffee trip) which is German for a promotional trip - usually by bus - to a tourist destination of questionable attraction during which the participants are encouraged to buy more or less purposeful goods while being served - coffee. The film completely strips this term from its original meaning. It is important to note that, at all times, the film reflects its depiction of a cinematic reality and never leaves the spectator in danger of immersion in it.
