Its deep winter in Farsi-speaking Winnipeg and at the local school a class is halted until Omid retrieves his glasses, which were stolen by a prize-winning turkey. Elsewhere in town, a guide leads puzzled tourists through historical sites. Meanwhile, in Montreal a man quits his job to visit his mother. Disparate threads intertwine in this lovingly imagined world whose laughs are as big as its heart.
