![A Portrait of Arshile](https://i3.wp.com/image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185/wPyq3PqeaCNTgXic0gQauBX8SsL.jpg)
Plot
Egoyan juxtaposes home-video images of his son Arshile with a self-portrait of the famed Armenian artist, Arshile Gorky; Egoyan narrates in English, while his wife narrates in Armenian. The self-portrait made from a photo of the artist as a child at the time of the great massacre of the Armenians is used as a focus for meditations on the nature of self-awareness, artistic expression, and the relationship between the artist and the viewer.
