00:00:00.047 --> 00:00:03.136
Solanna would take them 
all down to the seashore,

00:00:03.136 --> 00:00:06.060
walking a little ahead of them always.

00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:11.170
At the shore, she would stand 
all day, looking out to sea.

00:00:11.170 --> 00:00:16.270
Sometimes, she would 
let out a piercing cry

00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:18.668
and the children 
would cover their ears.

00:00:18.668 --> 00:00:21.981
They didn't know that 
far out under the waves,

00:00:21.981 --> 00:00:24.826
Solanna could see 
the dark shape of her mother

00:00:24.826 --> 00:00:29.114
and was calling to her in the scraps 
of seal language she still remembered.
