SYNOPSIS:
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 Quebecois government office and sets out upon an enigmatic journey to visit his mother.
Named one of the top 5 international films of 2024 by the National Board of Review.[5] The film was selected as the Canadian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
