Part of Myth & Ritual: Folklore on Film

From the award-winning studio behind The Secret of Kells and Wolfwalkers comes Song of the Sea – an enchanting feast for the eyes and heartfelt celebration of traditional Gaelic storytelling.

Song of the Sea tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse - the last Seal-child - who embark on a fantastic journey back to their home by the Sea, across a fading world of ancient Irish legends and magic, a world that needs Saoirse to find her voice and sing the 'Song of the Sea' to save all of fairie kind from being lost forever.
