By Rich Rubin
Directed by Jerome Elliott Moskowitz

On his deathbed, Franz Kafka instructs his best friend Max Brod to burn his unpublished manuscripts. Brod does not destroy his work, believing Kafka is a literary genius. This leads to Kafka's writings rising to literary prominence decades after his death. Brod then escapes from Nazi Europe with Kafka's works in 1939, bringing them to Palestine. At the time of Brod's death in 1968, he left the manuscripts to his secretary. However, Brod's will is very confusing. Who owns Kafka? A true story based on a 2016 Israeli Supreme Court case.
