COCKROACH

A man named Zhora wakes up in a lonely apartment. He has been mute since birth. But despite this, he works at a prestigious office downtown and he is the best man in his field. Today is a very exciting and important day for him ― the birthday of his girlfriend whom he has been in love with for 3 years. As her birthday present he’s grown a very ordinary, unremarkable flower for her. Zhora is as naïve as a child, and living in his own world where nobody can hear him or wants to accept him, getting past his particular fears, he decides to change his life, after all, which he’ll regret profoundly later…
