Calendar

Atom Egoyan casts himself as the lead character in Calendar. He portrays a photographer who is sent to Armenia to take pictures of churches for a calendar. He slowly begins to realise that his wife, an Armenian translator, is falling in love with their driver and unofficial guide, Ashot. They grow more and more distant from each other and finally separate. Later, at his home in Toronto, he uses an escort agency to invite a number of women to dinner, finally settling on the one who looks and sounds most like his wife. CALENDAR is another thought-provoking look into strange, intertwined relationships from the always enigmatic Egoyan. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
