In the summer of 1923, amid his fight against tuberculosis, writer Franz Kafka travels to the seaside resort Graal-Müritz to improve his living conditions—and leaves with an understanding of the glory of life. After meeting Dora Diamant, a dancer who works at the resort, Kafka—who struggles with his overbearing family and often keeps to himself—finds a connection he’s never known. As he and Dora grow closer and develop an understanding of one another, Kafka is inspired to live the remainder of his life to the fullest. Despite the health complications, Kafka travels to Berlin to be with Dora, where they experience a year together full of joy and love as well as hardship. Based on the true story of the last year of Franz Kafka’s life, this deeply touching film explores the power of love and its ability to bring light into our lives, even in the darkest of times.
