What links two children who find money frozen in a block of ice, a confusing tour guide, and a man on a mysterious journey to visit his estranged mother?
On the surface, not a lot. But by merging the cities of Winnipeg and Tehran into a surreal - but never unbelievable - new location, Flatpack alum Matthew Rankin creates the perfect place for all of these stories to interweave.
A city symphony for a city that only sort-of exists, Universal Language is truly a gem of a film.
