Creator's Statement
Division and hatred are gifts from the devil. We fight all the time because we disagree, look different, and think “we” are right while “they” are wrong.
Who is behind our fight, laughing at us? To drive further the division, to fuel our hatred against each other—that is the true mission of the devil. What is sad is that we have the power to reject the devil but often get helplessly confused and lose control. This, in the form of a fable, is what I imagined for Knock.
The mysterious person barges in on a family and creates a minute crack which leads the family to grow into a big problem. As he stirs up the dark sides of other people, the family becomes more and more suspicious of one another, and in the end, attacks each other physically and emotionally, just as he planned.
In an isolated space called home, the mother, the son, and the daughter each represent different types of people. How they each react to the mysterious man and change their behaviors accordingly are things to watch for in this film.
