After being separated for an emotionally taxing period of time, Kris and Sam are reunited at their apartment in New York City. Sam has returned from life abroad after his work as a marine sent him away. But even from the start of this stilted and awkwardly colorless moment, something feels off. My Light is about the slow unraveling of denial in grief and the feeling of ache when one loses the person that helped them feel, if only for a moment, that they were planted on solid ground.
