What Is The Lighthouse About?

The premise of The Lighthouse without spoilers.

After their mother dies in a car crash, Argentine sisters Memé and Aneta become orphans—Memé also crippled by a scarred leg—and move to Uruguay to live with their aunts. They bicker but remain close.

Andy’s invitation to his seaside lighthouse tests their strained bond and forces them to confront their grief.
