🇨🇦 UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE - with English subtitles and drinks

► ABOUT THE MOVIE
Comedy with a surreal twist from Canadian director Matthew Rankin (Twentieth Century) that links today's Winnipeg, Canada to the Teheran of the 1990s. Wes Anderson meets Abbas Kiarostami in Rankin's ode to Iranian cinema, deftly interweaving dream and reality.

Introverted government official Matthew (Matthew Rankin) leaves Montreal to visit his sick mother in Winnipeg. But does he actually arrive in the city of his birth? Because, when he gets there, it turns out everyone in the isolated Canadian metropolis is speaking Farsi. Matthew himself becomes embroiled in two children’s search for a missing pair of spectacles; in the meantime, guide Massoud leads a group of dismayed tourists around the monuments and historical sights of the city of ‘Winnipeg’.
