About
A ten-year-old Irish boy discovers his mute sister is a selkie; together they set out for their lighthouse home by the sea.
On an island off Ireland’s north-west coast, lighthouse keeper Conor (Brendan Gleeson) lives with his wife Bronagh (Lisa Hannigan) and their son Ben (David Rawle). After the birth of their daughter Saoirse (Lucy O’Connell), Bronagh disappears. Six years later, ten-year-old Ben remains resentful of his mute sister, whom he holds responsible for their mother’s absence; his sole companion is the family dog Cú. When their Granny (Fionnula Flanagan) takes the children from the lighthouse to her home in the city, Ben learns that Saoirse is a selkie. To return to their home by the sea, they set out on a journey into a world Ben knows from his mother’s stories.
