Delightfully surreal and bizarre,"Message To Know One" is a film about listening, but are you really listening, or just hearing? Sure, there's a great message in the sales meeting about listening, but are you really paying attention to that? The meeting even mentions that they should watch a film about listening called "Message To No One"! Oh right, there's another story about a family not really listening to each other, and there's a pet skunk... It's all very bizarre, and makes you wonder what the hell you just watched, and lets you take what you will from it. Highly reccomended!
