A documentary about Franz Kafka, narrated by some of his best friends – via actors – including Max Brod, Milena, Felice Bauer, Janouch, among others. Together with archive and current photographs of Prague, Dindo builds up a rich picture of the man who changed the course of modern literature.

Richard Dindo, in questa sua nuova presentazione cinematografica di uno scrittorecome "arte nella biografia", affronta la dimensione umana e letteraria di Franz Kafka, autore di alcuni libri fra i più belli e importanti del Novecento. Da quel passato ebraico-praghes emergono come fantasmi, interpretati da attori, alcuni personaggi che meglio di tutti conobbero il scrittore (i suoi amici Max Brod e Gustav Janouch, le donne amate Milena Jesenska, Felice Bauer e Dora Diamant, l'autore svizzero Max Pulver).
