ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Song of the Sea

Okay kiddo, Song of the Sea is a beautiful movie that tells the story of a little girl named Saoirse and her big brother Ben. Saoirse is a special girl because she is a selkie, which means she can turn into a seal.

Their mom disappears when Saoirse is born, and their dad is very sad because he misses her. Because of this, their dad sends them to live with their grandma who doesn't like magic or anything out of the ordinary.

One day, Saoirse finds a special seashell flute that was their mom's. This flute helps Saoirse remember that she is a selkie and that she needs to find her way back to the sea.

Saoirse and Ben go on an adventure together to find their way back to the sea and their mom. Along the way, they meet lots of magical creatures like fairies, owls, and even a giant octopus.

In the end, Saoirse uses her magical powers and the power of music to save the world, and she learns how to be brave and true to herself. It's a very heartwarming and beautiful story that shows us the importance of family, love, and being true to ourselves.
