Van's (Tierney) father, Stan (Hemblen), is fond of video, always taping scenes of daily family life. But he does not take care of Van's grandmother, Armen (Keklikian). 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 (Khanjian), whose mother is in the next bed. Van wants to get his grandmother out of the old people's home. Aline will help Van, whose mother left years ago and is looking for a real family life.
