Plot summary
Syracuse, called Circus by some, trawls off the Cork coast and hauls a young woman out of his net. He revives her, and she gives her name as Ondine, refusing the hospital because she does not want anyone else to see her. He hides her in a caravan that belonged to his late mother, which makes him late collecting Annie, his daughter, who lives with Maura, her mother, and uses a wheelchair. During Annie's dialysis he tells her of a fisherman who draws a woman up out of the water, and Annie says the woman may be a selkie, a seal that becomes human on land. Ondine sings, and his lobster pots come up full. Syracuse has stopped drinking for Annie and is wary of hoping again.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- For Ondine, the wheelchair seen on screen was a Days Healthcare Escape PWR SE Folding Powerchair; the production put it on a wire safety so it would not fall off the pier into the water.
