Movie Summary:
Fiona is a ten-year-old girl who has been sent to live with her grandparents on the west coast of Ireland. There she hears the curious legend that one of her ancestors married a selkie, a creature that is part woman, part seal. Then Fiona thinks she sees what might be her younger brother, who disappeared years earlier, in a cradle being carried through the water by seals. The story unfolds from there as the girl grapples with these mysteries. This is a magical fable that is photographed with stunning beauty, and it’s one of the few films I know of that really can be enjoyed by the whole family.
