The year is 1919, the city is Prague, a place of narrow, twisted cobblestone streets and medieval towers, casting eerie shadows at every turn. This is the world of Kafka, a man whose life is divided into two halves. By day, he is a clerk but by night, he is a writer. He is a man who keeps to himself, a man whose every day is like the last, until one day, his fellow worker and closest friend, Eduard Raban, mysteriously vanishes. (official distributor synopsis)
