Kafka - Episode 1 - Max

Kafka's (Joel Basman) friend Max Brod (David Kross) is a renowned writer, full of energy and ideas, but his biggest project is to achieve fame for his friend Franz. This is a kind of reverse Amadeus constellation: Brod tries with all his might to help his difficult friend, who never returns artistic recognition or support to his most loyal patron. Brod is a manic womaniser, always involved in multiple affairs. He is a warm-hearted person and the energy and power centre of the story. Unfortunately, he is not a good writer – a fact of which Kafka is well aware.
