Milena plot
Prague, 1920. Milena's father wants her to follow in his footsteps and become one of the first female doctors in Czechoslovakia, but the young woman is determined to become a writer. She goes to Vienna with the Jewish music critic Ernst Pollak, and begins to correspond with Franz Kafka. She leaves Pollak and returns to Prague with her father, where she befriends Kafka and translates his work. As a journalist, Milena covers the workers' strike in the Ruhr in 1923 and meets the communist architect Jaromir. They marry and have a daughter. Milena writes for a Marxist newspaper until her husband travels to the Soviet Union. Confronted with the rise of Nazism in the years leading up to World War II, she ends up in a concentration camp.
