Directors' Fortnight Audience Award. In a mysterious and surreal twilight zone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of various characters intertwine in surprising and puzzling ways. Grade schoolers Negin and Nazgol find a sum of money frozen in the winter ice and try to retrieve it. Meanwhile, Massoud leads a group of increasingly confused tourists through the monuments and historical sites of Winnipeg. Matthew quits his meaningless job in a Québecois government office and embarks on a puzzling journey to visit his mother. Space, time, and personal identities overlap, intertwine and resonate in a surreal comedy of deception.
