An Irish trawlerman, recovering alcoholic Syracuse, lives with his disabled daughter. One day he catches a strange fish in his net - a scantily clad young lady... or is she a mythical selkie? Will this be the woman of his dreams? Is this a fairy-tale? Do selkies really take their clothes off this easily? A sentimental tribute to myth; both that of the half-human half-seal selkie and, more so, that of a whimsical rural Ireland.
