Somewhere in the far north, a lonely fisherman is paddling his kayak when he suddenly sees something that takes his breath away: A group of seals have taken of their pelts and transformed into human women. He falls in love with one of the seal-women and takes her pelt. She agrees to leave her natural element, the water, and to marry the fisherman, but she has one condition: After seven years, he has to return the pelt to her. They have a child who grows up happily, but the seven years pass quickly. Will the fisherman keep his promise?

Whether it is thrilling crackle of the icecap or the light-heartedness of a deeply-felt love: This Inuit-tale takes us into musically touching worlds of sound that go straight to our hearts. With Das Kind der Seehundfrau, Valérie Junker stages a story of love, loss and acceptance – topics that affect our own lives, too.
