- Synopsis
- Feature film. A former political journalist, who feels helpless in the face of the rising tide of Fascism in the 1930s, becomes a lighthouse keeper in Canada. He is visited by the ghosts of immigrants from an equally disturbed 19th-century Europe who eventually persuade him to abandon his self-imposed isolation and return to the fight. Adapted from the play by Robert Ardrey.
