Storyline
Kafka works during the day at an insurance company, where events lead him to discover a mysterious underground society with strange suppressive goals.
Prague, 1919. Mr Kafka, a solitary man leading a complex life, has been slaving away as a lowly clerk in the Workers and Accident Association, a chaotic state-run insurance company, for the past eight years and seven months. However, Kafka's true passion lies in writing novels during his free time. And then, one day, Eduard Raban, Kafka's only friend, vanishes into thin air. Determined to get to the bottom of the mysterious disappearance, Kafka soon catches the eye of cold Inspector Grubach and a radical group responsible for planting bombs all over the city. As Kafka delves deeper into the dangerous investigation, he unearths a strange world hidden in plain sight that leads him to the city's enigmatic castle. But are the answers Kafka seeks beyond the citadel's impenetrable walls?
