Das Filmfest 2024

He is complicated, full of self doubt, mercilessly talented - and terminally ill. She is grounded, knows what she wants, and loves life. When Franz Kafka and Dora Diamant meet it is not self evident that they will fall in love. But it happens nevertheless and they spend a year proving that death has no power over true love. The Glory of Life casts a bright, cheerful light on the famous poet and gently portrays the last year of his life, in which he celebrates great love with Dora Diamant and takes his life into his own hands before it is too late.
