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 upon 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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fragmented, gently comedic portrait of displacement and disconnection, where three unrelated stories unfold across winter landscapes with deadpan peculiarity. The film feels like eavesdropping on lives caught between departure and arrival, held together by an offbeat sense of humor about the absurdity of being stuck.
