Song of the Sea

Description

Song of the Sea is an animated film that explores the longing, searching, and complexities of love as Ben and his sister, Saoirse, are caught between different elements: the land and the sea. Throughout this song, the repetition of the phrase "Amhrán na farraige," also known as the Song of the Sea, emphasizes the symbolic significance that the sea holds. The sea is home to both tranquility and restlessness which is reflected in Ben's desire for a sense of peace and connection as he grapples with his relationship with his sister and acceptance of grief and loss.
