Winter. Somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg. Negin and Nazgol find a sum of money frozen deep within the sidewalk ice and try to find a way to get it out. Massoud leads a group of befuddled tourists on an increasingly-strange walking tour of Winnipeg historic sites. Matthew leaves his job at the Québec government and embarks upon a mysterious journey to visit his estranged mother. Time, geography and personal identities crossfade, interweave and collide into a surreal comedy of disorientation.
Presented in Farsi & French with English subtitles
A Q&A with director Matthew Rankin will take place following this screening of Universal Language.
