Content: Javier is a composer. To hear his music, he seeks solitude. He finds it as a lighthouse keeper on a small Balearic island. But solitude is also a burden when it is combined with a longing for togetherness. Javier longs for a woman. But first the Krakerich lighthouse, which goes crazy every time there's a storm, has to be brought to its senses, then the woman has to be found so that the music can get out of his head and onto the paper. Despite energetic help from friends, Javier remains stuck in his chaos of perceptions of the past, reality and fantasy. Humiliating childhood memories, badly scarred, erupt, haunt him. In any case, the woman who could resolve the inner chaos and the fear of the outer emptiness is already ensnaring him unrecognised.
