As far as I can tell this is a fictional story but could very well have been modeled after the real experiences of photographers who go to world trouble spots to document unrest, war, famine, and such things.
Hugo Weaving (of 'The Matrix" fame) is photographer Dan Fisher. When he returns to Sydney he finds that his partner is pregnant, and he also is looked up by a refugee from South Sudan who witnessed his whole family being killed. He suspects that Dan has photographs that would be of interest to him.
The most of the movie moves deliberately, the two men become friends, during the last half hour or so tensions develop when secrets start to come out. Overall a good movie and one that makes you think.
My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.
