To avoid village gossip, she sends him to a remote family-owned lighthouse. However, his solitude doesn't last. The lighthouse soon becomes a haven for misfits and outcasts: Magnolia, a retired escort; Arturo, Rosa Maria’s estranged husband; Valbona, a lesbian; Rosa Maria herself; and two eccentric workers with a little girl. Amid the ensuing chaos, this unlikely group finds strength in unity. Despite their differences, they share their stories, support one another, and build a sense of community, transforming the lighthouse into a beacon of hope.
