Universal Language was co-written and directed by Matthew Rankin, and stars Rankin, Mani Soleymanlou, Rojina Esmaeili, Saba Vahedyousefi, and Pirouz Nemati.

Winter. Somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg. Negin and Nazgol find a sum of money frozen deep within the sidewalk ice and try to find a way to get it out. 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.

The film was named one of the top 5 international films of 2024 by the National Board of Review and was selected as the Canadian entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
