Jean Kayak (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and sinister creatures – all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to win the hand of a mischievous lover.
This gleefully eccentric silent slapstick comedy from director Mike Cheslik channels Looney Tunes-esque mischief with breathless, inventive energy, paying tribute to the classic cinema of Chaplin and Keaton while carving out a wonderfully idiosyncratic, madcap magic all of its own.
