This film longs to hold you.

An experimental, multi-threaded comedy-drama that weaves together absurdist vignettes across North American winter landscapes, balancing dry humor with quiet existential longing.

Massoud leads a group of befuddled tourists upon an increasingly-strange walking tour of Winnipeg historic sites. Matthew leaves his job at the Québec government and embarks upon a mysterious journey to visit his estranged mother.
