Vladimir Nabokov, widely considered one of the world's great writers, was also a remarkable professor at Cornell University. Here, we have Christopher Plummer as witty Nabokov, providing entertaining insight into "The Metamorphosis," Kafka's perplexing story of a man who woke up one morning to discover that he has turned into an insect. One of the most widely read and studied short stories of all time, Kafka's surreal gem is humorously and intensely brought to life in this adaptation
