Dan, a renowned war photographer struggling with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), forms a friendship with Sebastian, a Sudanese refugee. Until one of his photos brings a dark secret from Sebastian’s past to light... Ben Lawrence’s “Hearts and Bones” is a quiet, contemplative drama that intensely explores the consequences of war and guilt. Subtly directed, the film stands out for Hugo Weaving’s powerful performance, the moral complexity of the story, and its shifting perspective on victims and perpetrators.
