Shortlisted for Best International Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards, this is a quirky, cross-cultural comedy where Tehran meets Winnipeg in a surreal exploration of time, space, and identity. With influences from Abbas Kiarostami and Guy Maddin, director Matthew Rankin delivers a whimsical narrative full of misdirection and dry humor. A search for hidden money intertwines with eccentric characters—like a befuddled tour guide and a disillusioned civil servant. Full of delightful absurdity, the film beautifully blurs boundaries, proving that sometimes the most profound connections come from the strangest places. It's a hilarious, bittersweet celebration of human solidarity, wrapped in filmic magic.
