Synopsis: 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.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING BACK TO?

( Listening to Peter's voice )

-IT'S BEEN A MEMORABLE WEEK.

I CAN'T THINK

OF ANY TIME IN MY LIFE

WHEN I'VE EVER BEEN AS HAPPY.

IT'S WITH THIS IN MIND THA I'VE DECIDED TO REMAIN HERE.

I REALIZE THAT THIS IS GOING

TO COME AS A SHOCK TO YOU,

BUT YOU MUST NEVER

DOUBT MY LOVE.

BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE

MY PARENTS, MOM AND DAD.

JUST LIKE I'LL ALWAYS

BE YOUR SON, PETER.

-NOW...

I'D LIKE US TO PLAY A GAME.

I'D LIKE YOU TO PRETEND

THAT I'M YOUR SON.
