Tell Me on Tuesday

Sag es mir Dienstag

Directing: Astrid Ofner

Synopsis

".... Is there in the world, Milena, as much patience as is necessary for me? Tell me on Tuesday." wrote Franz Kafka in a letter to Milena Jesenská. Kafka's longing to see Milena again, before he was able to spend four days with her in Vienna, was marked by delay, and a transition to written form in letters and diary entries. A trembling before and an drained after frame those days in July, 1920, the particulars of which remain a blank. Astrid Ofner matched Kafka's love letters to Milena with fragile images that permit the existence of that blank space, making it visible rather than filling it in.
