Wes Anderson meets Matthew Rankin in this Canadian absurdist comedy-drama - blending 1980s Iranian cinema with a surreal triptych of intersecting stories set in a mysterious and surreal interzone somewhere between Winnipeg and Tehran - where 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.
