While they met in LA in 2006, some time later Rönicke proposed making a film adaptation of Kızılyaprak’s short story “Knock… knock… knock”, where he narrates his experience in the cell of a Turkish torture center. Since 1980, the regime in Turkey has actively sought to erase the Kurdish language, sense of belonging, right to a homeland, place in history and ability to speak. The film revolves around the meeting between Kadir, a young revolutionary locked in one cell, and an old religious man in the neighboring cell. They get in contact with each other through a little pipe hole, through which they try to have small conversations and to help each other. The story is told from the perspective of its writer from a present day position, depicting a meeting between the storyteller and a character in the story.This event is presented by Fuxia 2 and SIGNAL in conjunction with Pia Rönicke’s exhibition 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨' 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙫𝙚, supported by Malmö Stad, Region Skåne, Statens Kunstråd and Knud Højgaards Fond.
