Phenomena in artwork: Silks

As aquatic creatures in the film there are selkies – sea, people-seals from Scottish and Irish folklore.

Selkies is the beautiful wife of a lighthouse Keeper. The second child she for unknown reasons, giving birth in the sea and then, leaving on the shore a baby girl, disappears. One of the main memories that remain with children about mother – her songs and wonderful voice.

Born in the sea girl saoirse also turns out to be selkies. The first years it grows as a normal child, except he's not talking. However, at some point wisps lead the girl to the chest in which she finds a white coat. Dressed in it, saoirse goes to sea and becomes a seal. Coat is very important for girls. Not being able to wear it and swim in the sea, saoirse begins to fade.

In addition to the ability to turn into seals, the selkies, there is also a purpose: wearing a white coat, she must sing the song that will release spirits trapped in the stones, and let them escape into your world. Unlike other magical creatures,born from human saoirse has the right to choose which world she will live in a magical world together with the mother or in the human world with her father and brother.

Giant Mac LIR does not manifest itself, as also is turned to stone. After the song selkies all have spell, he, along with other spirits goes into a different world.

She does it out of good intentions, long ago, her son the giant Mac LIR from the terrible grief, crying day and night, nearly flooding the whole earth, and the sorceress, unable to endure the suffering of the son, deprived of his senses, turning to stone. Heartbroken, the witch began to turn to stone others, believing that thus relieves them from suffering and sorrow. Stolen emotions it locks in glass vessels, which keeps in the attic of his house.
