Plot
'Keepers' is a psychological thriller who is inspired by the events occurred in the Scottish island of Flannan. It tells the story of James, Thomas and Donald, three lighthouse keepers who arrive on an uninhabited island, 20 miles away from the Scottish coast. As they settle into their normal routine, something unexpected happens: they stumble upon gold. The rest is a tense battle for survival, fed by isolation, paranoia and greed, leading three honest men down a path to destruction.
'The Vanishing' is directed by the Danish filmmaker Kristoffer Nyholm, who makes his directorial debut in a feature film after working in TV series like 'The Killing' y 'Taboo'. The screenplay is written by Joe Bone and Celyn Jones.

Trivia
Three characters, three characteristics
Bone notes that very early in the process the writers wanted to distinguish the three characters in age, physique and wisdom. ?This would complete the puzzle - youth versus muscle versus brains.?
Immersion in feature films
Kristoffer has worked under Lars von Trier on a number of projects, including 'The Boss of it All', 'The idiots', 'Breaking the waves' and 'Epidemic'. He has also directed a number of music videos, commercials, shorts and documentaries. Prior to 'Keepers', Kristoffer directed 'Taboo'.
Faked Flannan Isles
Due to its isolation, shooting at the actual Flannan Isles lighthouse was not an option. Hence the filmmakers, after extensive scouting, settled on Galloway in southwest Scotland, with specific attention paid to the lighthouse on the tip of the Mull of Galloway.
