The Trial (1962)

In the intricate machinery of a colossal corporation, Josef K. toils as an assistant manager, an indistinguishable cog among many. One haunting morning, the rhythm of his life is disrupted when three men, their identities obscured, barge into his room and place him under a perplexing arrest. With no charges disclosed, they leave him to tread the waters of his everyday existence, punctuated only by his cryptic visits to an interrogation commission that holds his fate in their hands. As the enigma of his arrest unfolds, Josef can't help but suspect his company's involvement, especially when his arresting trio is shadowed by familiar faces from his office. His suspicion also extends toward his enticing neighbor, Miss Burstner, a captivating nightclub dancer, as the inspector had invaded her room before his. Struggling to maintain his covert desire for her, he hopes his predicament doesn't tarnish his image in her eyes. When his uncle learns of his plight, he leverages his influence to retain Mr. Hastler, a formidable advocate, to navigate Josef through this bewildering maze. Along the way, Josef encounters potential allies, among them three women: Leni, the advocate's enigmatic mistress; Hilda, the wife of a commission guard; and Irmie, his innocent sixteen-year-old cousin. Amid the chaos, Josef must determine whose intentions are true and how to best navigate his twisted reality. As he strives to peek behind the impenetrable façade of the judicial system, his efforts prove futile, leaving him trapped in a Kafkaesque nightmare. From the confines of his room to the daunting labyrinth of the legal system, Josef K.'s quest for understanding plunges him deeper into a world of uncertainty, where the only certainty seems to be his ceaseless trial.
