No one knows what happened to them, though the most likely explanation is that they were swept away in a storm. Three lighthouse men disappeared from their posts, leaving only an upturned chair and a set of oilskins. The Vanishing (formerly Keepers, and as a lover of film title puns how I wish they’d kept it) is inspired by the Flannan Isle mystery of 1900. It occasionally jars, but mostly I found the changes in tone darkly elegant. This find is the catalyst for a brutally violent thriller that turns into a psychological drama, with a surprising (and unexpectedly sad) ending.

It’s Thomas who comes up with a vaguely workable plan when they discover the chest, a rowing boat and a dead man in a gully, the morning after a storm: say nothing to anyone, and wait for a full year before spending anything. Since they set off for their stint on the island, Donald has been an outsider: gently mocked for not knowing what no one’s told him yet about the job, but given no responsibility. Thomas has lost his family and he’s nearly done after 25 years’ lighthouse-keeping. They’re friends, though even James defers to Thomas in all matters. After the first calamity James makes more broth, methodically chopping vegetables.
He has a wife and two children that he loves he also loves the lighthouse machinery and getting it to work, and takes pride in the chores to keep everything going, from cleaning the light itself to making broth. James at first seems as solidly straightforward as it’s possible to be. Watch my 1 minute video review of The Vanishing He’s one of those disruptive characters who creates unease simply by being. It also serves to highlight the separateness of James and Thomas’s fellow lighthouse keeper, the much younger Donald (Connor Swindells), who from the off I wouldn’t want to spend six hours with, let alone a six-week stint in an isolated lighthouse. However, Serafin's deception becomes truth as he experiences a long overdue breakdown - which leads to his unexpected salvation at the hands of intriguing hospital laundry attendant Sofia.It’s hard to work out who is who as they brawl, and it’s as if these ordinary Scottish men are starting to turn into lesser versions of their attackers, now death and greed have intruded. As this relationship threatens to bankrupt him due to Tonka's lavish spending habits, Serafin checks into a mental institution faking mental illness so that his honor and army position may remain intact. Years pass and Serafin has become an enlisted officer in the Empire's army, as well as the lover of a particularly noxious young woman named Tonka. His mother Marija was his only solace from the island's isolation and his father's tirades until her tragic and unexplained death. His father Joseph - the island's lighthouse keeper - ruled his household with an iron hand while making little effort to conceal his affair with his son's nanny Magda. Growing up on an isolated island off the coast of Croatia during the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, young Serafin Skoko's formative years were as repressive as they were lonely.
