A Canadian photographer and his wife, both of Armenian descent, travel to their homeland so he can take pictures for a calendar. Though he manages to print 12 beautiful photographs, his marriage falls apart during the assignment. Now alone and lonely, the photographer proceeds to romance a different person each month, but during their dinner dates, he has each woman make an erotically-charged telephone call to another person. Come November, he is pleasantly surprised to discover that his new lover is also Armenian, and for the first time since his divorce, he does not want a third party called for stimulation. But just as he and his girlfriend begin to understand their parallel pasts, his beloved ex-wife -- whose videos and phone messages he obsessively replays -- calls with details of just how and when she cheated on him...
