Une langue universelle
Overview
In order to visit his ailing mother, the introverted Matthew leaves Montreal to return to his native Winnipeg. But time and space seem to have been inverted in this absurdist, deadpan comedy: strangely enough, everyone in the isolated Canadian metropolis speaks Farsi. And look: like in a Kiarostami's film, two children are embarking on a quest that Matthew gets caught up in, too. Both a declaration of love to Iranian culture and a meditation on the curious geographical and mental space of the elusive giant that is Canada.
