After an upsetting personal drama, Sophie decides to leave her home
country, the United States, and move to France. In Paris, she
divides her time between the opera house, where she is employed as a
dresser to a great Swedish singer, and amateur dramatics. David,
her director, begins to take an interest in her but she stubbornly
refuses to embark on another love affair. Little by little,
Sophie is moved by David's entreaties and his attempts to seduce
her. After each show at the opera, she notices a silent young
man, Valentin. One day, the stranger approaches her and Sophie
finally becomes an actress in her own story...

From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
