Kafka, Kiffer und Chaoten

Kafka, Ganja, Maniacs

Kurt Palm
It is summer and five overly-seasoned college students have been given the task of writing a group paper on Franz Kafka’s “The Country Doctor.” At first they are reluctant, but in a cloud of hashish they come up with the idea to film the story instead. Their film location is a campsite in Sicily, which they had already booked ages ago for summer vacation. The technical department consists of a couple "unique" men from the Vienna film scene. To everyone's surprise, they even manage to get Kafka himself to play a supporting role in the film.
