00:07 Once upon a time--
00:09 Does it always have to be once upon a time?
00:12 There was a fisherman.
00:14 He was pulling in his nets.
00:16 Is he a mermaid?
00:16 No.
00:17 Is she a selkie, then?
00:18 What's a selkie?
00:19 She comes out of the sea, leaves on land.
00:21 My name's Syracuse.
00:25 I've been sober two years.
00:27 This is where they all clap.
00:29 I haven't seen that in the movies.
00:31 Take her in here, son.
00:32 Is that illegal?
00:33 No, but it's unusual.
00:35 I stole some lady's clothes.
00:37 I don't like this at all.
00:38 They were for this girl I met.
00:40 Thank you.
00:42 So what's the story?
00:45 She sings to the fishes, and he catches them.
00:47 You bring me luck.
00:49 That would be selk.
00:50 How long are you staying?
00:51 Depends on you.
00:52 It depends on me.
00:53 You can stay forever.
00:55 I'm Andine.
00:56 Andine.
00:57 What's it mean?
00:57 She came from the water.
00:58 I'm examining it for webs.
01:01 Selkie women, she stays seven years on land.
01:04 Unless a selkie husband claims her back.
01:06 What kind of stories are you spinning?
01:08 Your secret.
01:09 I think.
01:09 I know.
01:10 You don't like the dress?
01:11 It's just tied around the edges.
01:13 You have edges?
01:14 Someone was looking for her.
01:18 Who?
01:18 A man.
01:19 The seas spit you out.
01:24 You don't belong here.
01:27 It's our secret.
01:28 We tell nobody.
01:29 I haven't seen him.
01:33 What's wrong with being seen?
01:34 It doesn't make sense.
01:39 None of it makes sense.
01:40 You're a kind, and my kind.
01:41 We don't belong together.
01:42 What are you doing?
01:43 You're afraid, father.
01:44 Misery's easy.
01:45 Happiness you have to walk in.
01:49 Get rid of her.
01:49 I don't want you to go.
01:51 Andine!
01:51 Andine!
