"A spellbinding tale bursting with magic, humour and heart" Total Film
Inspired by the Irish legend of the Selkies, this enchanting film follows Saoirse, the last seal-child and her brother Ben on their epic journey to find their way home and prevent the world of magic from disappearing forever… Highly critically acclaimed and winner of various international awards. Don’t miss it!
"The day you choose to see this film is one you won't forget" LA Times
I lament that Song of the Sea–and Book of Kells before it–was never shown close enough with enough notice so that I could see it. One of the first DVDs I bought was the Secret of Roan Innis, also about selkies. Sweet film, lovely music. In it, the young’uns leave Dublin and go to the West Coast of Ireland to their grandparents, because the air is healthier for growing kids.
