The story

What Is The Light About?

The premise of The Light without spoilers.

Camille returns to Ouessant, the remote island off Brittany where she was born, to arrange the sale of her family’s home. She spends one final night in the old house and uncovers a hidden secret tied to a brief, unsettling episode in 1963: a stranger arrived to work alongside her father, the Jument lighthouse keeper, and after only two months his presence became a disturbing catalyst that still echoes on the island.
