Light Between Oceans, The

Based on the novel by M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans is a story about Tom Sherbourne (Fassbender), a young combat veteran and lighthouse keeper on a remote island off the coast of Western Australia, and Isabel Graysmark (Vikander), the beautiful and spirited daughter of the school headmaster on the mainland of Partageuse. The other characters are Hannah Roennfeld (Weisz), a resident of Partageuse who is desperately hoping to find her husband and baby lost at sea, Septimus Potts (Brown), Hannah's wealthy, influential father, and Ralph (Thompson), a salty, sea-faring skipper. This is a story of fate, love, moral dilemmas, and the lengths one couple will go to see their hard-fought dreams realized. (Gary Reber)
