In 1960, a young writer and a future film director trace Franz Kafka’s footsteps – in a village where he often visited his sister and wrote “The Castle.” They look for inspiration for a screenplay, but don’t have any success. Later, one of the two friends becomes a famous director in the USA and the other becomes a head of state. In 2019, another film team makes a journey to the same village.
