Jorge is a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher toiling away in a shabby diner in Queens, New York. From his solitary kitchen corner, Jorge quietly attempts to forge a bond with Amy, the newly hired Chinese waitress, but even though she tries to reciprocate, the gulf that separates them may be too large. On the job he is continually tormented by a coworker, and at home, in his Harlem apartment, under the psychological control of his domineering ???roommate,??? he battles his inner demons. Choking Man captures the feeling of claustrophobia and almost literal asphyxiation newcomers to America experience as they struggle to find a place and purpose in this strange land.

Choking Man -- The anxiety of a shy Ecuadorian dishwasher working in a Queens diner, and the alluring Chinese waitress he has a crush on, provide the psychological engine for this intense blend of drama and magic realism from famed music video director Steve Barron.
