Synopsis:

Van's father, Stan, is fond of video, always taping scenes of daily family life. But he does not take care of Van's grandmother, Armen. Although he could afford having her at home, she is spending her days watching TV in an old people's home. Van often visits her. He meets Aline, whose mother is in the next bed. Van wants to get his grandma out of the old people's home. Aline will help. Actually, Van, whose mother left, years ago, is looking for a real family life.

A story of mixed and found identities set in a nursing home, a condominium, and a phone sex establishment. Using a collection of video images - television, pornography, home movies, and surveillance - the film observes the breakdown and restoration of a dislocated family. Darkly humorous and unpredictable, FAMILY VIEWING is a complex journey in to the world of brutality and sentiment.
