Description

For decades, Vidhu has been the isolated keeper of a lighthouse, living a life of perfect routine centered around the night. He is the "Beacon of Light," tirelessly guiding ships in the dark, but always retreating below deck to sleep before sunrise, convinced the sunlit world is not for him. His existence is one of a perpetual duty.

This unbreakable routine is violently shattered when a massive storm tears away the trapdoor to his dormitory. As the morning breaks, a sharp, blinding beam of daylight pierces the darkness, waking Vidhu and forcing him to ascend the tower. Overwhelmed by the vibrant, sunlit world he has only ever guarded against, Vidhu descends, no longer to sleep, but to abandon his post. Driven by this sudden, brilliant illumination, he repairs a broken boat and prepares to set sail for the unknown world his light has always pointed toward.
