Kafka, Ganja, Maniacs

Is it possible to shoot Kafka’s story "A Country Doctor" in mid-summer Sicily, even though the original’s set in mid-winter Bohemia? Yes, you can, say a few university students in Vienna and pack their film equipment, and also Franz Kafka himself, into their colorfully painted VW bus. And the adventure can begin.
