A locked apartment door on a shadowy corner in downtown Tel Aviv. The cries of a hundred cats fill the air as American blogger Nina Stern waits. Obsessed with the writings of Franz Kafka, she’s traveled 6000 miles from New York to Tel Aviv to view the manuscripts. Through a bizarre series of events Kafka could never imagine, his papers land in the hands of a Tel Aviva cat-lady who won’t let anyone in. Meanwhile Israel and Germany are locked in a political battle over who owns these priceless lost works. As Nina spirals closer to the ultimate truth, the story leaps back-and-forth in time from Kafka’s Prague to contemporary Tel Aviv, building to the final question:Who owns a work of art, the creator or the viewer?
