The business belonged to the family,
66
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680
but the family
also belonged to the business.

Of course.

I don't know. Do you have

Yes. Is difficult.

I can't go to the shop.
- But someone has to go.

Karl Hermann, Kafka's brother-in-law.
Sister Ellie's husband.

which protects against fire.
120
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,120

- A future product.

A future product. - Yes.
123
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,960
And there is the idea,
that I open a factory.
124
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,440
With Ellie's dowry.
125
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760
That's how it was
in middle-class Jewish families:
126
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,920
You get married, you invest.
127
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,800

was founded with Julie's dowry.

if not the family?

How? I can't just give it to him

134
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Do you understand? - Yes.
You can't just...

00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,520
So I don't give it to him
the money, but you.
136
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,160
Me?
He's a little slow in the head.
137
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,240

- Be quiet when men talk.

Yes. Please, Ellie.
Let's discuss this, shall we?
139

00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,920
It's easy to stumble. Stumble
I can do it well. Not now, Franz.
178
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,720
My brother in law says things that...
179
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,040
I know.
I have known Franz much longer than you.
180
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,920
* Loud rattling *
181
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,320
Good.
182
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,240
They're not there yet.
183
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Who then? The inspectors
have announced themselves for today.
184
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,080
And if you already have an expert
has in the family...
185
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,240
I'm just pretending to be one.
I guess that's called a job.
186
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,920
You are late. I wonder,
whether that is a bad sign.
187
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,280
We are here.
188
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,800
We've been here for a long time
and can tell you:
189
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,120
The safety of your workers
doesn't seem guaranteed.
190
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,120
Your actions are contrary!
191
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,320
I'm sorry, what?
192
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,720
You like...
193
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Who are you?
194
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,840
Dr. Kafka,
Workers' Compensation Insurance Corporation.
195
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,960
Pleasant.
196
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Why do companies exist?
197
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,920
if you do this with personal
Put inspections into perspective?
198
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Our inspection only helps
199
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,760
to get a picture for ourselves
about the risk classification.
200
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,160
You don't need to explain anything to me
Colleague.
201
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800
your questionnaire
I have filled it out properly.
202
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,200
It's a danger class at best
two at danger percent 60.
203
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,640
Therefore it needs
no reassessment of operations.
204
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080
But according to the hazard catalog...
205
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,920
I know.
I co-authored it.
206
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,480
Danger class twelve
with danger percent 75
207
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,520
seems completely exaggerated.
208
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,480
should that
be the official update,
209
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,520
we would have a lawsuit
without a doubt success.
210
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Without a doubt, hardly.
At sea and in court?
211
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,600
How can you be sure?
212
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,200
Because I usually complain like that
213
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,200
from the accident insurance company
fend off.
214
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,880
But in this case
I would have to lay down my weapons.
215
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Your approach is just fine
about usurious bonuses. May I?
216
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Are you insinuating something about us?
217
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680
I left it to something concrete
not lacking.
218
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,120
Can I please say something too?
219
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,080
What do you allow yourself?
They come here.
220
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,360
They hinder our workers
at work.
221
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,560
They act up,
make yourself important and at the same time...
222
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,400
I mean ...
223
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,600
How come...
How do we get to this?
224
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,640
What do you actually believe?
225
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,480
At least listen to him.
226
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,440
We have found,
that a personal inspection
227
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,120
in addition to the questionnaire
can have an error-preventing effect.
228
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520
In workers' compensation insurance
229
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,800
we have rather opposite ones
Made experiences.
230
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Dr. Kafka,
we know who you are.
231
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,160
We know your work
about wood planing machines.
232
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,680
It's not about optimization
the hazard criteria catalog,
233
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,000
but about the material itself.
234
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,320
So, also from my side:
all respect, gentlemen!
235
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,400
But asbestos applies worldwide
as a safe fiber.
236
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,000
Should that be in Prague
now the question is?
237
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,360
No, but the last word
doesn't seem spoken.
238
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Let's wait for this.
239
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,120
I would regret it
to see us in court.
240
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,720
No less than us.
- It was a pleasure for us.

00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,320
You will receive mail from us.
We will respond immediately.

could always speak objectively...

00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Yes, I wished that too.

but they won't let him.

355
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,240

356
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,480
The escape fantasy
angry coffee shop visitor.
357
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,360
What do you want in Palestine?
Or maybe Uganda?
358
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,960
And what else do you want here?
359
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,520
If everyone wants to emigrate
Isn't that exactly what the anti-Semites do?
360
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,720
The real escape fantasy
is assimilation,
361
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,400
that we wear their clothes
and read their books.
362
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,040
Then maybe they like us.
That's the fairy tale.
363
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,240
Palestine is the way out.
364
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,560
But it's not her books,
they are ours.
365
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,320
The German language belongs to everyone.
Nobody talks like Löwy anymore.
366
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,080
And you, Franz?
367
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Please? Sorry. What?
368
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,520
Franz is nervous
because of his lecture.
369
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,960
You are beautiful
became half Zionist. I?
370
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,760
No.
What do I have in common with Jews?
371
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,040
I hardly have anything in common with myself.
It's starting.

Everything goes smoothly.
385
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,000
The jargon is
the youngest European language,
386
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,440
only 400 years old.
387
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,760

How do we hold on,
without increasing the price? We?
390
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,920
Franz, honestly, I can do this
Don't read business books very well.
391
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,080
That's not my specialty.
This is yours.
392
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,520
It consists of foreign words.
393
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:59,280
But these do not rest in him,
but retain the liveliness,
394
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,320
with which they were taken.
395
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,200
Migrations of peoples go through the
Jargon from one end to the other.
396
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,600
You can use jargon
do not translate into German.
397
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,480
The connections between jargon and
German are too delicate and significant.
398
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,640
They should tear up immediately,
399
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800
if jargon into German
is returned.
400
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,280
(Löwy tells the story in Yiddish)
401
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,280
Deut, for example, is not dead
and what blooms is by no means blood.
402
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,640
But if she took up jargon
and jargon is everything:
403
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,680
word, Hasidic melody,
404
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,560
the essence of this Eastern Jewish
Actor himself:
405
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,360
Then you will regain your former peace
don't recognize.
406
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,120
Then you become the true unity
feel the jargon,
407
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,000
so strong,
that you will be afraid.
408
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,480
But no longer from the jargon,
but in front of yourself.
409
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,000
And so Dr. Franz Kafka
his first public lecture.
410
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,560
But why does he always say jargon?
411
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,240
Franz never says anything like that
like anyone else would say.
412
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,000
His first and only
about the Yiddish language
413
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,440
and about the relatives in the East.
414
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,840
Of those
wanted the bourgeois Jews of Prague
415
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,080

want to have forgotten.

511
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,680

on his armour-like back.
512
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,920

raised a little, his arched,
513

brown, of arcuate
Stiffening divided abdomen.

could the bed cover,
