Overview

In the middle of the Adriatic Sea lies Palagruža, a lonely rock with a lighthouse that has been inhabited since 1875. Vojo Šain has worked here for 26 years as one of Croatia's last lighthouse keepers. For him, Palagruža is more than just a workplace; the island is his second home. For weeks he lives far from comfort and civilization.
