The Premise

The story of that to save ones self from grief you

have to save another.

The Logline
After the loss of her Father a young woman chooses to carry on his
memory and role of being a Light House Keeper but ends up pushing
others away so that their dont feel any more grief. Until, they meet a
young man who makes it their mission to remind her what its like to
have someone care about them.

The Step Outline

A light house keeper and his young daughter are setting up and turning on the lantern of the light house
as a storm starts to roll in. As they watch the storm from inside their home the keeper spots a boat thats
in trouble and is heading for the rocks. The man tells his daughter to stay in the light house as he goes
out to help. The young girl watches from the window as the storm becomes more wild.
Years later, in the present, we see that the girl has now grown up. She is seen standing in front of her
fathers grave showing that he didnt survive, it is also shown that she has become a light house keeper
herself to carry on his memory and to protect others from the same fate. However, the grief of her loss is
still with her as she now spends all of her days and nights locked away in her light house on her own with
none to talk to.
However, a young man appears at her door one day and introduces himself as having moved into the old
fishermans cottage by the shore. He tries to befriend her, commenting that he thought that she might
be lonely like he is, along with trying to give her a flask of homemade soup but she pushes him away.

The Step Outline

The man goes back to his cottage just as the weather starts to turn bad. Thinking no more about it he sets about
making more soup in his kitchen, for his own lunch or dinner, with his blender. However, as he works away he
doesnt notice the lightning that is part of the oncoming storm.
Sometime later, as the light house keeper is turning on the lantern, they hears the thunder from outside and steps
out of her home to see how bad it is only to find that the flask has been left at her door. Annoyed by this she grabs
the flask and plans to pour out the soup on to the floor but just as she is about to do this she catches something
out of the corner of her eye. To her horror she sees the fishermans cottage is on fire having been hit by the
lightning.
Quickly making her way down to the cottage she sees that the man is still inside and attempts to save him but as
she is about to run in to the building she catches a look at a bust of flames and they remind her of the waves that
claimed her Fathers life. Fighting back the memory the light house keeper runs in and pulls out the man.
A few days later the light house keeper is shown standing in front of a grave once again. It is shown that it is still
her fathers only this time the young man appears next to her. Taking her hand shows that she has finely opened
up him and accepted him into her life.
