Overview

Franz Kafka on maailman tunnetuin saksankielinen kirjailija, jonka kuolemasta tuli 100 vuotta kesäkuussa 2024. Nuorena keuhkotuberkuloosiin menehtyneen miehen elämästä valmistunut draamasarja kertoo pilke silmäkulmassa, millainen Kafka oli taitelijana, ystävänä, rakastajana. Mikä muovasi hänestä Kafkan? Kukin jakso kertoo yhden tarinan miehestä, jonka elämäntyö oli vähällä kadota, jos kirjailija itse olisi saanut päättää. Ilman Max Brodia ei olisi Kafkaa - entä toimiko se myös toisin päin?
