A novelist, André Bertov, seeks inspiration from the fabled storm of Christmas 1966, when 45-feet high waves shook the lighthouse known as The Pillar and traumatized its three wardens. André seeks to write “in context” a short story featuring the survivors of the storm. Captain Dupuis brings André, by boat, to the lighthouse, where he isolates himself for a month, with the papers of his research. As the days go by, the lapping of the waters and the sounds of the Pillar, the evocation of the 1966 drama, monotony, isolation, fog, and the cries of the seagulls make him lose his medication and bearings.
