Instructor:  Tom Lavin and Mary Ellen O’Hare Lavin

Set in the beautiful area of New Zealand, balanced by the Pacific Ocean on both sides, we meet and learn the story of two people who fall in love after the trauma of WWI. If marriage is an individuation process, as Jung tells us it is, this film exposes that process in a stunning and momentous way. A young man, working as a lighthouse keeper, meets and marries a young woman who awakens the feelings he lost during the war. As often happens in life, what starts out simple, eventually becomes complicated. It is a story of love, hope, and a fateful choice.

Join us as we discuss the powerful Archetypal motif that unfolds in this brilliant film, produced only as the Australians can do.
