Kafka - Episode 3 - Familie

Kafka writes a merciless letter of accusation, more than 100 pages long, to his domineering father Hermann (Nicholas Ofczarek), which he ultimately never sends. Gradually, the focus shifts to Kafka's relationship with Zionism and his friendship with Yitzhak Löwy (Konstantin Frank), an actor in a traditional Yiddish theatre troupe. The confrontation between his father and his friend Löwy prompts Kafka to write ‘The Metamorphosis,’ the story of a man who turns into an insect, arguably the most influential literary work of the 20th century.
