Spoilers ahead
** After giving birth to a human son named Ben, the couple expect a second child, but Bronagh disappears following the birth of their daughter Saoirse, seemingly dying in childbirth. Six years pass, and life at the lighthouse settles into a quiet rhythm: Conor and Saoirse share a tender bond, while Ben grows protective and wary of his little sister. Ben’s affection for Saoirse is tempered by a growing resentment from the fact that their mother is no longer there, and his only constant companion becomes the family Old English Sheepdog, Cú. Saoirse herself remains mute, a quiet presence in the household, her own world opening and closing with the small gestures of a girl who has learned to listen more than she speaks.
