We Are the Grandchildren of the Selkies Who Stayed | S7 Ep4

OUR STORY

The selkie story is one of the most enduring tales in the Celtic imagination. A woman caught between two worlds, a stolen skin, and the impossible choice between the sea and the shore.

But what if the story doesn't end when she slips beneath the waves? What if it lives on in her descendants, in us?
