Wintopia traces the enigmatic footsteps of renowned documentary filmmaker Peter Wintonick through the lens of his daughter, Mira, as she tries to decipher the map he has left behind. Reverberating with emotion and whimsy, Wintopia guides us on a journey through possible worlds in pursuit of reconciliation, both between artist and family and between dreams and reality.
