Synopsis

In Kafka: The Labyrinth of Existence, viewers enter the claustrophobic, oppressive world of Franz Kafka, a man whose personal struggles with alienation, bureaucratic indifference, and existential despair bled into his groundbreaking writing. The series unpacks Kafka's complex relationships with his domineering father, his strained interactions with lovers and friends, and his obsessive need for control over his narrative. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Prague, Kafka is more than a biopic — it’s a psychological journey into the depths of a mind at odds with itself. Each episode pulls from Kafka’s life and his extraordinary, often surreal works — The Trial, The Metamorphosis, and The Castle — blending fiction and reality in a way that leaves the audience questioning what is truth and what is imagination.

Description of Franz Kafka:

Franz Kafka was an Austrian-Czech novelist and writer from Prague. He is widely regarded as a major figure of 20th-century literature; he wrote in German. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. It has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best-known works include the novella The Metamorphosis and the novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered English to describe absurd situations like those depicted in his writing.
