![]() ![]() When the old man says he has been sitting at the same table in the same cafe at the same time of the year for 22 years, the boy reveals his age: 22. He explains why the cafe is placed at the fork of two streets leading to the clock tower. He explains that the 5 tables and 7 lamps on the balcony of the cafe aren’t arbitrary numbers – there’s a scientific answer. The boy believes he has found a friend, a kindred soul, who believes in patterns and rituals (“I buy things in threes”) that debunk the randomness of the world. The boy is a tattoo artist he’s fascinated by the man’s routine. The man’s attention (the sound design tries hard to be noticed) is interrupted by an energetic Nepali boy. We recognise the cafe from the movies ( Barfi! ): it’s in Darjeeling, and there’s a clock tower opposite it. He is designing a crossword puzzle by hand. Knock Knock Knock, a 38-minute short film by Sudhanshu Saria, opens with an old Bengali man at a cafe.
