Selkie
Teenager Jamie moves with his mother, sister and grandfather to an island off the South Australian coast where mum has a job running a marine research station. To his discomfort, Jamie discovers he's a "selkie" - half human, half seal - that explains the webbing on his hands and also why he changes completely into a seal as soon as he hits water.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its charm by blending the mundane with the mythical, using the austere beauty of the coastal landscape as a natural stage for the hero's internal voyage. It relies on Celtic folklore to explore universal themes of coming-of-age and finding one's true nature.
What lingers after the credits is a sense of gentle wonder, a tale where peril is met with courage and family bonds, and magic serves as a metaphor for self-acceptance. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch with the family on a quiet afternoon, best with a view of water.
