Plot summary

Twenty-three-year old Peter Foster is an only child who lives at home, where he constantly hears his parents arguing. Because Peter does nothing all day, the family goes to a clinic where a therapist videotapes them. After Peter watches his tape, he views the tape of a troubled Armenian family, who gave their only son away for adoption when they arrived in Canada. Peter decides to visit this family, and he pretends to be their son, Bedros Deryan. The Deryan family welcomes him with open arms, and Peter tries to patch up the poor relationship between George Deryan and his daughter Azah.

This is the film that should hold a label insapirational attached to it. If you're young, or else if you remeber your young adult life, you will surely like it because you'll feel that you understand the main character completely. Who didn't think at least once in his life that his parents were alients and that by some huge mistake/mockery of universe he, the great, the extraordinary examplar of human race has landed into a most mundane family on Earth? Who didn't want to change these two poor insults that like to call themselves your parents for some other, more interesting or simply more affectionate, understanding ones? Who didn't pretend, largely because of their fault, to be someone else, to be somewhere else? The difference between you and me and the main bloke in this film, Peter, is that he actually did just that. He swapped his middle class uptight family for a simple, loving, Armenian one, by pretending to be their missing son Pedros. On the other hand, if you are aspiring film director, with no film under your arm to call your own product of your extraordinary imagination, this is a great film to see. For educational, inspirational purposes. To get the idea how to make of a low-budget 70 min. film exploiting a rather common subject a work of art. How to film airports and luggage pick-ups so to instill in them the main idea of change that's about to happen, or simply to make some memorable shots. How to make a very successfull use of off voice, and of our own obsession with modern communication technology for self-explorational/exibitional purposes , that is, how to 'play' with camcorders and voice-recorders(the year is 1984!). The film is not however perfect. After a great opening and great plot development, somewhere around ahalf of the film, you will experience a slight fall of your interest, which will be regained at the end. But perfect though it's not, it's definetlely worth watching!

This is very good filmmaking. It's not the prettiest looking film and the performances aren't going to win any awards, but the script is superb and Egoyan knows how to tell a compelling story. Personal, surprising, and fascinating. Very good.
