Description Based on the true story of the daughter of a lighthouse keeper, who spent her childhood on a small island. A multi-media theatre event in two parts, with a short film directed by Lala Rolls. On the night of a storm, a sailor saves a foreign woman lost at sea and on the verge of death. He finds shelter in a lighthouse where the keeper and his lover are confessing farewell. Despite the difficulties of language and culture the four characters take refuge in each other, afraid of the solitude that otherwise awaits them.
