Based on the bestselling novel by M.L. Stedman, “The Light Between Oceans” is directed by Derek Cianfrance and stars Michael Fassbender as Tom Sherbourne, a lighthouse keeper on a remote island off Western Australia in the 1920s. Alicia Vikander portrays Isabel Graysmark, Tom’s wife who joins him on the island after their marriage.
The film opens with Tom returning from World War I and seeking solitude as a lighthouse keeper. He meets Isabel in town, and they quickly fall in love and get married. They move to the remote island where Tom works as the lighthouse keeper.
A few years into their marriage, Isabel miscarries twice before becoming pregnant for the third time. This pregnancy also ends in a stillbirth, leaving Isabel heartbroken and unable to move on from her grief.
One day, while burying their stillborn child on the island, they discover a baby washed up on shore in a boat with her dead father beside her. The couple decides to raise the baby as their own and name her Lucy.
However, things start to unravel when they visit the mainland for Lucy’s christening and meet Hannah Roennfeldt (Rachel Weisz), who lost her husband and daughter at sea around the same time Lucy was found.
Isabel starts to feel guilty for keeping Hannah separated from her daughter but is torn between her love for Lucy and doing what is right.
