In the aftermath of World War I, former soldier Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) works as a lighthouse keeper, living alone on a small island. On the mainland, he meets Isabel (Alicia Vikander), with whom he corresponds, and eventually marries. When a dinghy comes ashore containing a baby girl, Isabel persuades her husband to claim the child as their own. A chance encounter leads Tom to the realisation that the child’s actual mother is a local woman (Rachel Weisz) still grieving for her loss, forcing him to choose between his family and what is right. (Notes by Kevin Coyne.)
