Inspired by an unproven myth, Kafka’s Doll is an animated short film that blends factual research, fiction, fantasy and myth into a single heart-warming story about loss.

Ispirato a un mito non provato, “La Bambola di Kafka” è un cortometraggio animato che fonde ricerca fattuale, finzione, fantasia e mito in una sola storia commovente sulla perdita.
