Synopsis
Thanks to the power of love, the last year of Franz Kafka's life becomes his happiest. He has never been able to afford intimacy before, suffers from tuberculosis and is dependent on his domineering family. But the worldly and wise Dora Diamant accepts him as he is. And he accepts her. The two meet in 1923 on the Baltic Sea coast, where he is convalescing and she works in a Jewish Volksheim. Together they go to Berlin and, when Franz's health deteriorates rapidly, to a sanatorium in Austria. Barely a year after they meet, he dies. The memory of their time together will shape Dora for the rest of her life.
