Avaliable on: DVD

Atom Egoyan himself stars as a Canadian photographer sent to Armenia to document historic churches for a calendar commission in this haunting, beguiling and poignant romantic drama. Taking his Armenian wife with him as a translator, the couple’s relationship begins to unravel as she becomes more and more drawn to her ethnic roots and to their local guide.

A bold, precise and sometimes painfully honest depiction of love, loss and the strange twists of fate that life can throw our way, Calendar is one of Egoyan’s most accomplished and celebrated works.
