The Glory of Life - 2pm

Directed by Judith Kaufmann & Georg Mass

Because of the power of love, the last year of Franz Kafka's life becomes his happiest. He has never been able to allow himself to experience intimacy, he suffers from tuberculosis and is dependent on his overbearing family. But the worldly-wise Dora Diamant accepts him as he is. And he accepts her. The two meet in 1923 on the Baltic Sea coast, where he is convalescing, and she is working in a Jewish Volksheim. Together they go to Berlin and, when Franz's health deteriorates rapidly, to a sanatorium in Austria. Barely a year after they meet, he dies. The memory of their time together will shape Dora for the rest of her life.

Mazal Tov - 4pm

Directed by Adrian Suar

Dario Roitman (Adrián Suar) lives in the United States and travels to his hometown in Argentina to attend his sister Daniela's wedding and his niece's Bat Mitzvah. What Dario really wants is to rebuild family ties because he is estranged from his father and his brothers - but nothing ever goes according to plans.
