Unexpectedly, and utterly irrationally, the quiet and unassuming bureaucrat, Josef K, wakes up abruptly in the morning to the inexplicable and shocking sight of a suspicious high-ranking police inspector staring at him. As a result, a dumbfounded Josef will find himself under arrest, charged with an abstract accusation, and his room filled with strange men. But, who is behind his arrest, and most of all, what is Josef's hideous crime? Either way, even though the law should be accessible to anyone, instead, the inhumane, sluggish and faceless system is gradually devouring hapless Josef, who, trapped in the logic of a vile Kafkaesque nightmare, faces the certainty that he is bound to be found guilty. Soon, crashed, defeated, and depressed, poor Josef will have to question his sanity and his very existence, abandoning any hope of escaping the clutches of the prejudiced and loathsome system. Will he ever be the same after the trial?—Nick Riganas
