Overview
- Many are familiar with writer Franz Kafka, but few are familiar with the story of Kafka’s love affair with Polish Zionist Dora Diamant towards the end of his life. This beautifully filmed drama focuses on their relationship. Kafka meets Dora in a Baltic seaside town where he is convalescing, and the two become a pair and move to Berlin. He is dying of tuberculosis and his parents, German Jews, disapprove of the relationship. With Dora, Kafka is able to experience an intimacy he’s never known in this tragic story of like minds and fierce devotion.
