Universal Language
A touching alternate reality, cultural fusion fable.
In a mysterious and surreal interzone — somewhere between Tehran, Iran and Winnipeg, Canada — characters try to free money from an ice block, lead tourists through local historic sites, quit theirs jobs to visit their mothers, reunite with old friends and new acquaintances at a Tim Hortons, and — yes — even visit the finest turkey butcher in town. Space, time and identities interweave in this incredibly unique and surreal comedy of misdirection from director Matthew Rankin (The Twentieth Century, Anomaly 2020). More details & tickets
