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.
Editor's Verdict
"The film 'The Secret of Roan Inish' is a fantasy/folklore-driven drama set in Ireland, focusing on Selkies and family mythology. There is no indication in the provided summary or general film knowledge that Christmas plays any role in the setting, plot, theme, or resolution."
