Description

Mary's final days are spent on Bruny Island, surrounded by her memories and regrets. A long time ago, she lived there with her husband as the lighthousekeeper, raising a family in the wild windswept environment. However, a tragic event forced them to leave, leaving behind a secret that has haunted her for decades. As Mary weakens, she imposes herself on the island's ranger, Leon, who is reluctant to take on the role of caregiver. Despite his reservations, he finds himself drawn into helping Mary confront the long-buried truth from her past. Meanwhile, her adult children are struggling with their own emotions, each reacting in their own way to their mother's return. As Mary's story unfolds, it becomes clear that she needs to trust a later generation to put things right and bring healing to the island and those around her.
