Description

Spring 1989. Three young adults abandon their far flung birthplaces to check out their very own tunes of migration. Each results in Montreal, each on a journey of self discovery, coping with the incidents of heartbreak and the twisted limbs of the distributed family tree. Crammed with wit, charm, and great storytelling, this story displays the unexpected links between cartography, rubbish-preoccupied archeologists, devils past and current, a mystical book with no address, and a broken compass whose needle obstinately points towards the Aleutian village of Nikolski (a tiny village inhabited by thirty-six people, five-thousand sheep, and an indeterminate quantity of puppies).
