In this world, life doesn’t hold anything good for a cockroach. Trying to kill himself, the insect is surprised by all the human kindness shown towards him. A LITTLE SUICIDE is a ride for the senses, giving a glimpse into the strange, big world of humans from a unique vantage point. They say you don’t know a man ‘til you’ve walked a mile in his shoes… well you certainly can’t know a cockroach ‘til you spend a day is his tiny boots – especially if it’s the day he intends to commit a little suicide.
