    This beautifully animated Irish fantasy follows Ben, a young boy who discovers his mute younger sister Saoirse is a selkie (a magical seal-person from Celtic mythology) who must find her voice to save the fairy world. The film explores themes of grief, family healing, and the importance of preserving cultural folklore and traditions. Through stunning hand-drawn animation inspired by Irish art, the story weaves together ancient Celtic legends with a contemporary tale about sibling relationships and processing loss.
