Film Synopsis
In a remote service station, Jeanne and her small son Christophe
anxiously await the return of François, who mysteriously left
them two years ago. Unable to live by herself, Jeanne has taken a
lover, Marcel, whom Christophe has taken a dislike to. In the
little boy's bedroom, there is a photograph of his father and a model
of the car in which he drove off...
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.
