It's bizarre.
From my memory (contains spoilers; not that there's any twists or anything): a woman goes on holiday to a remote island in Scotland (I think it's Scotland), alone. There she falls in love with a lighthouse keeper - who promptly dies of a heart-attack. She mourns for a few days. And then he returns... walking very slowly! He just sits there, staring into middle-distance, and never speaks - and neither does she. Finally she realises the only way to be 'one' with him in his new state is to walk into the sea and drown, and return.
It's brooding and poetic (nice images of windswept beaches, lighthouses, the sea), and very, very boring even though he does eventually do some murdering. I love it for some reason.
