Director

Jeff Barnaby

Year

2007

A grim and masterfully fractured Kafka-esque tale of a man's drug and despair-fuelled descent into hell.

A Mi'gmaq man struggling with life off the reservation descends into drug-addled madness when his girlfriend leaves him for his best friend, turning his rage and despair against the only visible enemy: the swarm of cockroaches that have invaded his trailer.
