The Seal Mother

Kaja, a 42-year-old marine biologist, has long rescued seals in the Baltic while fighting for her own motherhood through IVF. She faces the limits of body, law and finances, yet refuses to give up. Her bond with the seals guides her through crises and choices, as her personal journey intertwines with the struggle to protect endangered species in a world shaped by climate change.
