Ten-year-old Fiona is sent to live with her grandparents in a small fishing village in Donegal, Ireland. She soon learns the local legend that an ancestor of hers married a Selkie – a seal who can turn into a human. Years earlier, her baby brother was washed out to sea and never seen again, so when Fiona spies a naked little boy on the abandoned Isle of Roan Inish, she is compelled to investigate.

A pleasant family story whose fairytale magic is combined with the magic of the setting. Generally very good actors, especially the very young protagonist. The moral, almost 30 years after the film was made and more than 60 years after the novel was written, is as relevant as ever.
