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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently offbeat comedy about a directionless young man who finds meaning by infiltrating another family's life under false pretenses. It's tender and strange in equal measure, tracking how small acts of care can help people heal.
