The story is about the La Jumienne lighthouse, located near the French province of Brittany, which is known for its dangerous and unpredictable weather. The lighthouse was built in response to numerous shipwrecks in the area, with the final decision made after the sinking of the steamship Drummond Castle in 1896. The ship ran aground due to fog and quickly sank, resulting in the loss of most passengers and crew.

The construction of the La Jumienne lighthouse took eight years due to frequent storms, and temporary lighthouses were built nearby to aid navigation. In 1989, the lighthouse gained worldwide fame when photographs of a severe storm engulfing it were taken. One iconic photo captured the lighthouse keeper, Theodore Mulgorn, narrowly escaping a massive wave.

The story highlights the bravery of the lighthouse keepers, the importance of lighthouses in guiding ships safely, and the dramatic moments captured in the iconic photograph. It also mentions the impact of the photograph on both the lighthouse keeper and the photographer, Jean Guichard, who gained recognition for his work.
