Knock on Wood

  • Log in or register to post comments

In this fun comedy, we follow the adventures of a famous ventriloquist who leads an apparently perfect life, but finds it crumbling due to his inability to connect with people authentically. Despite his skill on stage alongside his inseparable puppet, things start to get complicated when he feels threatened by a new competitor who wants to take his place. But the real mess begins when, one day, his puppet comes to life and starts speaking for itself, revealing secrets and desires that leave the ventriloquist in an awkward and comedic situation.

As he tries to restore his reputation and navigate his personal relationships, the protagonist embarks on a surreal journey filled with misunderstandings, entanglements, and laughter. It's a tug-of-war between real life and the world of show business, where the ventriloquist must confront his deepest fears and discover what it truly means to have a voice in his life.

With a brilliant cast and a good dose of physical humor, this film plays with the idea of identity and duality, while following our hero in his struggle to be heard, both on stage and in his private life. The combination of ridiculous situations and moments of self-discovery makes this story a gem of 1950s cinema, which not only entertains but also invites reflection on human connection.
