First of a trilogy set against a backdrop of a New York ravaged with acid rains in a society permeated with the ethical values of the ominous DNA21 Corporation. A man in his twenties meets a mysterious young woman who disrupts the banality of his day-to-day existence. Together, they will embark on an obsessive-destructive journey revealing dark family secrets and forbidden desires. Mysterious and seductive, often disturbing, this unclassifiable piece of cinema offers very few answers as it plays with our genre expectations, taking us on a surreal journey with a devastating climax.

Miguel Coyula has created a work that is completely unexpected both in form and content. By using a different camera setup for every shot, and carefully planned transitions, he has created a visual feast in which no moment is like any other. This is the result of a two-year effort on a budget of $2,000 and a passion for filmmaking. Shot entirely using a portable digital camcorder and edited on a home computer, Red Cockroaches pushes to the limit the notion of what a "no budget" film can offer.
