Although he had received acclaim for his book "Metamorphosis", he was still withdrawn and introverted and did not interact with colleagues. One day, the only colleague who had close contact with him died unexpectedly. His fiancée couldn't accept the police's statement that it was suicide, and asked Kafka to help him find out the truth. Since both of them were anarchist revolutionaries, the organization asked Kafka to join the organization and help write the leaflet. Kafka refused and was caught in the center of the maelstrom, which led him to discover the terrible truth. "Sex, Lies, Video" director Steven. Sodaberg made the atmosphere quite compact and blurred, and the actor Jeremy. Irons also performed well, subtly presenting a paranoid inner world.
