Kafka is al ziek in de zomer van 1923 als hij naar de Baltische badplaats Müritz gaat om wat uit te rusten. Daar maakt hij kennis met de aspirant-actrice Dora Diamant, 15 jaar jonger dan hij, die de charmante verteller al snel in haar hart sluit. De twee delen niet alleen een gemeenschappelijke joodse religie, ze hebben ook een aantal sociale en persoonlijke raakpunten. Dora verneemt al snel dat Kafka terminaal ziek is, maar wil toch aan zijn zijde blijven en gaat een relatie met hem aan.
Nee, helaas is Die Herrlichkeit des Lebens nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
