On a remote Australian island in the years following World War I, a madly-in-love lighthouse keeper and his wife (Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander) lose their child. Fate intervenes when a small boat washes ashore with a dead man and an infant. It’s a dilemma. “Can’t be just a coincidence that she shows up,” Isabel Sherbourne tells her husband. He replies, “She’s a lovely baby, but you can’t keep her.” Nevertheless they decide to raise the child as their own. Then they meet a woman whose sister (Rachel Weisz) endured a terrible tragedy: Her husband and baby daughter were lost at sea.
