A nude portrait and a valuable set of chinaware are passed between a
disparate array of individuals whose only common characteristic is an
insane love of wealth. From crooks to beggars, art dealers to
professors, prostitutes to policemen, all seem blind to the intrinsic
value of the objects that pass through their hands.

The very best of German cinema
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
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.
