John Gruber is in his mid thirties, an egocentric, living life in the fast lane and sparing no expense. But all of a sudden he is thrown off track by a cancer diagnosis and by the person who unwillingly delivers the news: Sarah, a DJane from Berlin, who is not his type at all. Feelings just aren’t Gruber’s cup of tea and now, without having asked for them, he has more than ever before…

On August 13, 1912, Franz Kafka meets Felice Bauer. In 1912 alone, Kafka sends her around 100 letters to Berlin. Five years later, at the end of a nerve-wracking and sometimes painful relationship, he throws Felice's replies into the fire. The documentary film about Kafka's literary and private life is based on his letters and diary entries.
