1938. Barely out of school, Milena knows what she wants to do in life: to write. She is passionate about the arts, books and music. And also about the man who leads her through this cultural maelstrom : avant-garde critic Ernst Polak. Misunderstood by her father, Milena runs off to Vienna to marry Ernst. There, Milena will become successful in her work and will endure the failure of her marriage. Back in Prague, she will meet the man of her destiny : young writer Franz Kafka. But the Nazi threat is growing and peace is becoming increasingly fragile. Even in the midst of the storm, Milena, faithful to her passions, will live up to her destiny.
