Festival International du Film de Marrakech – Une Langue Universelle (Universal Language)

In a surreal interzone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of several characters are interwoven in surprising and mysterious ways. Primary schoolers 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, and Matthew quits his meaningless job in a Quebec government office and sets out on an enigmatic journey to visit his mother.
