Here is a 2011 American drama adventure film directed by Braden King, who also co-wrote with Dani Valent.
Will Shepard (Foster), a solitary young man who lives in the San Francisco Bay area, travels to Armenia to undertake a mapping survey in the rural areas of the country to confirm ground features and coordinates with GPS satellite data.
There he meets Gadarine Nazarian (Azabal), a spirited Armenian expat and professional photographer, who has returned home to face family issues.
She decides to accompany Will on his journey, acting as his interpreter, while taking photographs too.
