Prague, early 20th century: Franz Kafka is torn between the authority of his demanding father, the routine of the insurance office and the quiet longing for artistic development. While his texts find their first readers, the journey of a young man begins, who longs for normality but encounters the contradictions of life, writes literary history in the process and repeatedly falls head over heels in love.
As if through a kaleidoscope, the film looks at Franz Kafka and the echoes of his work - and cleverly works out how we understand Kafka primarily as a phenomenon rather than as a person. A film like Kafka's work itself: surprising, poetic, unforgettable.
