Atom Egoyan’s early film of familial estrangements, technology breathed everywhere, and people most alive when captured on videotape. The fractured family consists of Stan and Sandra, who is his live-in mistress and video bondage partner, and Stan’s resentful seventeen-year-old son, Van. The boy decides to free his beloved grandmother from an old age home and establish a new, blissfully free idea of "family." "Brilliantly original" – San Francisco Chronicle.
