SYNOPSIS:

Set in East Berlin during the 80´s, A Knock At The Door is a passionate love story, interwoven with social and political satire, a touch of human tragedy and moments of pure farce.

As the dramatic tension builds, fear mingles with laughter as we take a surrealist look at illogicalities of life in a police state where walls, quite literally, have ears. Nothing here is ever quite what it seems.
