"Jindabyne tries to grey the areas of good and bad. An Australian setting is a beautiful backdrop for this remarkable story.

As the film unfolds scene by scene, we discover that Stewart and Claire have unresolved matters in their marriage stemming from Claire's intense postpartum depression after the birth of their son. Claire constantly strives to be the mother she wasn't when her son was born. Stewart finds himself in the middle of his life, wondering where his marriage is and what kind of a man he has become. The film draws us into this domestic life, which seems to be in a kind of stasis. When Stewart goes away on an annual fishing trip with his friends, however, this stasis ends, bringing their wounds to the forefront. An incident followed by a collective decision by the men ignite a crisis for Stewart and his friends, as well as their wives and girlfriends. Ultimately, all of their secrets and deceptions are brought out into the light, along with a piercing question: What kind of men would make such a deci ... "
