Lorsqu’une peau chatoyante et écailleuse s’échoue sur le rivage et que Fiete revient sur l’île, l’univers d’Enno commence à s’effondrer. Pris entre le regard inquisiteur des insulaires et la légende de la Seewief bannie, Enno est aux prises avec des sentiments qu’il croyait enfouis depuis longtemps.

When a shimmering, scaly skin is washed ashore and Fiete returns to the island, Enno’s world begins to unravel. Caught between the watchful eyes of the islanders and the legend of the banished Seewief, Enno grapples with feelings he thought long buried.
