This Oscar®-nominated follow up to The Secret of Kells is another gorgeous hand-drawn animation (indeed, it’s been hailed as one of the most blissfully beautiful films ever made) inspired by Celtic magic and folklore – this time inspired by the ancient Irish legend of the selkies, magical beings who live as seals in the water and as humans on land.

Ben and his sister Saoirse (who hasn’t once spoken even though she is six years old) live on a rocky island where seals bob up to watch their every move. When their father sends them off to live with their gruff granny, the unhappy duo plan their return – and aided by a horde of ghostly but kind creatures, they face many adventures on their way. Will Saoirse discover the secret of their past and find her voice?

An enchanting treat for families – chock full of stunning imagery, captivating critters, and lovely Gaelic music.
