An adaptation of the unfinished novel by one of the most important writers of the 20th century, Franz Kafka. A stranger named K appears in an unnamed town, eager to get into the titular castle that overlooks it. Shattering the existing norms, he rouses the inhabitants from their lethargy. Upon meeting their supposed saviour, the characters begin to experience themselves anew. Paweł Miśkiewicz avoids popular interpretations of Kafka; by taking the main character on a circus-carnival journey, he asks questions about the essence of joie de vivre, refusal to accept despair and existential emptiness.
