The Glory of Life (2024) on Netflix

Plot summary

In the summer of 1923, Franz Kafka is convalescing at the Baltic Sea resort of Graal-Müritz. Dora Diamant works there in a Jewish Volksheim. He is a well-known writer, ill with tuberculosis and dependent on a family that overbears him; he has never let himself be close to anyone. She is fourteen years younger and comes from the East. She keeps her feet on the ground, while he drifts above it. She dances, he writes. She takes things as they are; he tangles himself in what might be. She sees him plainly and stays, and he does the same for her. The two go to Berlin together.
