Camera is the story of a young boy Oscar, who is unable to speak, as he struggles to adapt to the small fishing town he has just moved to with his widowed, and hard-working mom, Evelyn. Brought together by a broken format film camera, an unlikely friendship is formed between Oscar and a kind old repair shop owner, Eric. With the local fishing industry in decline, the town is fiercely divided whether to stake their future on building a luxury hotel, bringing in new jobs, or fight to keep the way things have been done for generations. With Eric's guidance and mentorship, Oscar captures the goodness in people, and in doing so heals a wounded community.
