The Secret of Roan Inish
Between land and sea there is a place where myths are real.
Directed by John Sayles
Produced by Jones Entertainment Group, Skerry Movies
A lyrical, folklore-steeped family adventure that weaves Irish legend and natural magic into a tender story of loss, belonging, and the bonds between generations.
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.
