Live from Dhaka

synopsis

Sazzad is a truly desperate man, whose handicapped leg seems to be the least of his worries. The stock market has crashed, and his stocks' value has plummeted. He is paying for a loan, and he barely manages to make payments. He is pathologically jealous of his girlfriend, Rehanna, to the point that he is suspicious of every phone call she receives. His brother, Michael, who is staying with him, is a drug addict, who occasionally has fits of rage when he cannot find his dose, trying to persuade Sazzad to give him money. Tired of his situation in Dhaka, he applies for a travel visa, in order to leave for Russia. His troubles do not end, as his girlfriend informs him that she is pregnant and needs money for an abortion. This, however, is not the end of his problems.
