Knock, Knock
Back to listSynopsis
On the last day of training, a young con artist moves with his mentor from door to door through Frankfurt am Main and swindles the money out of the unsuspecting victims‘ drawers. Arriving at the last house and thus the final test, Huey has to prove himself for the first time without his graying partner Jennifer. Disguised as a technician from an Internet company, the already nervous Huey faces not only a victim, but an entire birthday party at once. In the modern mansion, nothing goes as planned. Along with a growing family feud among the old aristocratic birthday party, scheming conspiring siblings and his own clumsiness, everything gradually goes wrong for Huey. In humorous, bizarre fashion, Huey is thrown through the events and in the finale throws his last moral out the window during a showdown against an eight-year-old girl. In the end, Huey has to save not only himself but, more importantly, his hard-gotten loot under a hail of flying champagne bottles in a big family bruise.
