Letters to Felice 1993

Directed by Igal Bursztyn

An evening in a small café in a working-class suburb of Tel-Aviv. Men and women from the neighbourhood go there, in search of solidarity. The local singer Doron Meran joins them. His oriental music offers them a few moments of ecstasy and oblivion. The film was inspired by Franz Kafka's letters that were written between 1912 and 1917 to his fiancee Felice Bauer.
