I am surprised that no-one else has commented on this film as of yet. I found that it contained many different threads, all intertwined in a subtle way to make the film what it is. The power of a photograph to evoke memory and emotions - even after fifty years. The still bitter memories of some former independence fighters towards the French. The carefully drawn minor characters such as the photo shop owner and the aspiring dancer. And most of all the passion that makes some people want to be photographers and to document the lives of people and the events they go through. The old magic of developing a print in a darkroom is well shown here. As is the main plot line of an old man wrestling with a dark secret from his youth and finally coming to terms with what occurred - in this case in an uplifting way. I recommend you see this film.
