A heartbreakingly beautiful story about longing, happiness, and unavoidable
mortality. Based on the novel by Micahel Kumpfmüller of the same title,_The
Glory of Life_ tells the tale of what happens when two extraordinary people,
Franz Kafka and Dora Diamant, find themselves in a hopeless situation.
Ultimately, the power of love makes the last year of Kafka’s life his
happiest.
