Summary A surreal, offbeat short film about a cockroach who falls in love with the woman whose apartment he infests. Roach shares Josephine's appreciation for early 20th century French classical music, and as she practices her accordion, he accompanies her on the violin, unbeknownst to her. They are perfect for each other. But, alas, Josephine has approximately 45,000 times Roach's body mass, and their reproductive systems are totally incompatible. Besides, Josephine is already married-- to a brutish exterminator named Moe. Not one to back away from a challenge, Roach devises a plan. He crawls into Moe's brain and gains control of his higher brain functions. Manipulating Moe like a three hundred pound sock puppet, Roach attempts to woo Josephine. Winner of Best Narrative Short at the **Slamdance Film Festival**
