Cockroach

About “Cockroach”

During a bitterly cold winter in a snowy northern city, a self-confessed thief attempts suicide by hanging himself from a tree in a local park and is rescued by authorities. He is then obliged to attend sessions with a therapist, during which he recounts his life story, including his childhood in a war-torn Arab country, his current life in the city's smoky emigre cafes, his guilt over his sister's death, and his relationship with an Iranian woman named Shoreh.
