Drama

Camille arrives in Ouessant, the island of her birth off the Brittany coast, to sell the family home. She spends a last night in the house during which she discovers a secret. In 1963 a man came to work with her father, who was the Jument lighthouse operator. He only stayed two months, but his presence proved to be a disturbing catalyst.

VIBE

A quiet, windswept drama that feels like a forgotten memory. It's a contemplative dive into the isolating beauty of a remote island, where lingering secrets and unspoken desires cast long shadows.
