The last year in the life of Franz Kafka. The romanting portrayal of the celebrated Czech author Franz Kafka, and his last love. Because of the power of love, the last year of Franz Kafka's life becomes his happiest.

And he accepts her. The two meet in 1923 on the Baltic Sea coast, where he is convalescing and she is working 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.
