Summary:

Based on the bestseller Kafka's Last Trial by Benjamin Balint. When Kafka died, he left manuscripts with instructions to destroy them. Max Brod ignored his wish, giving the world a literary legend. But this betrayal sparks a century-long saga that unfolds from Prague to Tel Aviv, where a 102-year-old woman's death triggers a legal battle over the fate of Kafka's papers. This docu-animation uncovers a surreal tale, part thriller, part history, about ethics, legacy, and national identity. Who owns Kafka's legacy: his friend, his heir, or the state?

Participant:
