IN THE NEW MINI TV SERIES
Kafka's vacation spot, already ravaged by
tuberculosis, is transformed in his imagination into the dark and
mythical village of his last and most famous 
novel, “The Castle”. But he
also meets his last great love, Dora Diamant (Tamara Romera Ginés). The
two lived in Berlin for a few months and
spent Kafka's last days
together in the Kierling sanatorium outside Vienna. Franz (Joel Basman)
grew up as one of many children in a Jewish middle-
class merchant
family in Prague. He became enthusiastic about writing from an early age
and wrote several texts. One of his best friends, Max Brod (David
Kross), is his greatest admirer and encourages him to keep publishing
his texts. He himself is a respected writer and full of energy and
drive. He believes
in Kafka's talent and drives him tirelessly. He is
known for his many affairs and his warm-heartedness, which could hardly
distinguish him from his shy friend.
