Prague, early 20th century: Franz Kafka is torn between the authority of his demanding father, the routine of his job at the insurance office, and a quiet yearning for artistic expression. As his writings find their first readers, the journey of a young man begins, a man who longs for normalcy yet encounters life's contradictions, makes literary history, and repeatedly falls head over heels in love. Driven by love, imagination, and the desire for respect, and supported by his friend and publisher Max Brod, this poignant and whimsical portrait of one of the most fascinating thinkers of the modern era unfolds. A film like Kafka's work itself: surprising, poetic, unforgettable. New product
