SYNOPSIS
Joe and Ciaran, two boys from a care home, are alone on the beach one night. Joe, who has been groomed and rejected by a local fisherman, thinks he can hear the sea talking to him. Wading out, Joe goes in and out of the water changing form and becomes many things: a whale, a mermaid, a dead child, all the time hoping he will become the thing the fisherman wants whilst his friend Ciaran stays on dry land and grows old.
