"Jump in at the deep end. You'll see how it goes."
Far in the far north, a lone fisherman is kayaking when he suddenly discovers something that takes his breath away: a group of seals have shed their fur and transformed into human women. He falls in love with one of the seal women and quickly takes her fur. She is actually willing to leave her native element, the water, and marry the fisherman — on one condition: after seven years, he must return the fur to her. Their child grows up happily, but the seven years are soon over. Will the fisherman keep his promise?
Whether it's the tense cracking of the ice or the lightheartedness of deeply felt love: this Inuit fairy tale takes us into musically touching soundscapes that go straight to the heart. With The Seal Woman's Child, Valérie Junker has staged a story of love, loss, and acceptance.
