Overview

Married collaborators Fiona Gordon and Dominique Abel direct and star in their slapstick films, which are heavy on zippy sight gags that owe a debt to Jacques Tati’s comedy. In their latest, Fiona (Fiona Gordon—they use their real life names for all of their characters) works in a Canadian library amid piles and piles of snow. Breaking free of a rut, she visits Paris, only to discover her aunt (Emmanuelle Riva) is missing. Heading through colorful Parisian streets in search, she meets the Chaplin-esque Dom (Dominique Abel), who falls for her, figuratively and literally. Fiona keeps tracking her aunt while Dom’s unrequited advances lead to escalating misadventures for all involved.
