Absurd, surrealist comedy by Canadian director Matthew Rankin (The Twentieth Century). Wes Anderson meets Abbas Kiarostami in this original, delightful tribute to Iranian cinema, beautifully interweaving dream and reality.
In a mysterious and surreal interzone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of multiple characters interweave with each other in surprising and mysterious ways. Gradeschoolers Negin and Nazgol find a sum of money frozen in the winter ice and try to claim it. Meanwhile, Massoud leads a group of increasingly-befuddled tourists through the monuments and historic sites of Winnipeg. Matthew quits his meaningless job in a Québecois government office and sets out upon an enigmatic journey to visit his mother.Space, time and personal identities crossfade, interweave and echo into a surreal comedy of misdirection.
