Based on Irish folklore, Ben and Saoirse (bred by their father Connor due to the untimely death of their mother, Brona, who is unhappy because of the loss of his wife, Ben gradually grew into a brave and responsible big brother.

The seal was introduced into the ocean, but encountered danger. The brother and sister were forcibly brought back to the city by their grandmother. Ben soon discovered that Saoirsa had mysterious powers only found in ancient legends. Fight, and set foot on the way home again...

Ben's father Connor is the lighthouse keeper, and they and their mother Brona's family of three live happily here.

Mom and Ben sing songs together, ready to welcome their soon-to-be-born sister, Ben told his mother that he wanted to be the best brother in the world to protect and take care of his sister. The night when my

sister was born was the last night Ben saw her mother. Years later, my sister grew up, but her sister has never been able to speak. Because she lost her mother , Ben was angry with his sister for this, and didn't like her sister. He only played with his big dog every day and didn't pay much attention to his sister. On

her sister's birthday, their grandmother came to the lighthouse. She always thought that Connor was unable to take care of the two The child, proposed to take the children to the city to raise them. At

night, my sister found a coat left by her mother and put it on. She came to the sea, turned into a cute little dolphin, and sang a beautiful song. In the

morning, my grandmother found Sister Saoirse, who was washed ashore, insisted that the two children must be taken away. The father threw the coat left by his mother into the sea because of his anger.

Ben was very sad to leave the lighthouse, leave his father, and leave his lovely big dog. After arriving at grandma's house, Ben was very uncomfortable and decided to escape from here according to the map he drew when he came. The younger sister found out that the elder brother was going to leave and insisted on following. Although he was unwilling, the elder brother decided to leave with the younger sister. On

the way, the younger sister blew her mother's stay . The conch under the conch attracted the elves. The elves told them that the owl monster would absorb the emotions of the elves and turn them into stones. Only the singing of the dolphin fairy could save them. Dolphins can sing.

On their way home, the sister was captured by the owl monster. The elder brother met the bearded old fairy and gave him advice.

The owl monster was because he couldn't bear to see his son's extreme sadness, so he sucked his feelings away and turned him into an island. She believes that there is no pain unless there is no emotion, and she sucks the emotions of all elves in order to help them stay away from pain. There are countless bottles collected in her home, and each bottle contains the emotional world of an elf.

The elder brother found his father, and the two overcame various difficulties and retrieved the dolphin clothes.

The younger sister put on the dolphin clothes and sang the songs taught by her mother under the guidance of her elder brother. All the bottles were broken, and the emotions sucked by the owl monster returned to the elves, and all the elves were resurrected.

At this time, the mother appeared again and told them that she was originally a dolphin fairy, and her sister had half of the dolphin fairy blood. She could choose to leave her father and brother in a dolphin dress and continue to be a dolphin fairy, or she could choose to take off the dolphin dress, be an ordinary girl, and leave. Mother.

In the end, Sao Ersa chose to take off the dolphin clothes and live with her father and brother.

The music and graphics throughout the film are beautiful, and each shot is a beautiful picture.

Looking at other people's comments, compare this film with Kaguya's Story. I feel that the last point is the biggest difference. One is to put on a feather coat and leave the world, to give up all emotions and stay away from pain. One is to take off the dolphin clothes and become an ordinary human being with human emotions, including happiness and sadness.

    TTTATTT, a Celtic dream composed of lines and musical notes, a country of elves, is so beautiful that she has goose bumps all over her body, and she has a cute Irish accent. The reason why my mother is leaving is probably because she speaks standard English. . .

    I have absolutely no resistance to this kind of subject matter, especially when he said "I will live in your story forever" when he was parting, he burst into tears. One more star for the music.
