The Oscar-nominated director Agnieszka Holland (GREEN BORDER, HITLERJUNGE
SALOMON) has created a work that is as complex as it is humorous with FRANZ K.. She gives
us a very unique insight into the nature and workings of the phenomenon called Franz
Kafka.

Prague, early 20th century: Franz Kafka is torn between the authority of his demanding father
demanding father, the routine of the insurance office and the quiet longing for artistic
artistic development. While his texts find their first readers, the journey of a young man
young man who longs for normality but encounters the contradictions of life
writing literary history and repeatedly falling head over heels in love.
Driven by love, fantasy and the desire for respect, supported by his friend and publisher Max Brod, a portrait of one of the most fascinating thinkers of modern times unfolds that is as touching as it is bizarre. A film like Kafka's work itself: surprising, poetic, unforgettable.
