Dir. Matthew Rankin
2024, Canada, 89 min
English, Farsi and French with English subtitles
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 disorientation.
Please join us on January 23 for a post-screening discussion with filmmaker Matthew Rankin, followed by a reception at
Platform Centre for Photographic & Digital Arts.
Presented in partnership with On Screen Manitoba.
