Product Description

Life-affirming drama starring James Nesbitt. Peter (Nesbitt) is a former workaholic city trader who begins a reclusive new life as a lighthouse keeper on a small Scottish island following the death of his wife (Natascha McElhone) and two daughters. His only point of contact with the outside world is Howie (Gary Lewis), who delivers his supplies every few months. Peter's mute, withdrawn existence is shaken to the core when he finds a little girl, Charlotte (Lilian Woods), washed up in a lifeboat on the beach after a storm.

5.0 out of 5 stars very touching 26 Jun 2010
By Stephen F. Wilkins
Format:DVD
A cracker of a film that had a cynical 50 year old near to tears,super performances all round but an extra special mention to Lillian Woods as the young shipwreck survivor waiting for her daddy,its not often that I watch "Modern Films",but for once I'm really pleased I did, a little gem

5.0 out of 5 stars a haven of calm 31 July 2010
By A. Pearce
Format:DVD
I caught the tail-end of this film on TV and having viewed the whole thing on iplayer, I knew I wanted to watch it again and again.
Everything in this film is beautifully crafted; clever titles at the start, haunting music and a less-is-more, amusing dialogue. I watch it frequently for its sense of peace and the humour cuts across any sentimentality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving, emotional film 19 Jun 2010
By Libby Webb
Format:DVD
This film was a delight to watch. It is a very moving film.
James Nesbitts portral of a man that had everything and then looses all that is dear to him , removes himself from society and then gets himself back to life thanks to a young girl that gets washed up when her fathers boat sinks when a storm hit is fantastic.
It had me hooked from start . I was crying one minute through the sadness then crying with happiness at the end.
An excellent story with lovely scenery.

I would recommend everybody of all ages, to watch this film
