Summary

A resolute promise from a child to a wild seal- to protect our beaches and oceans from plastic pollution. "Things will be different one day."

When a young child forges a special connection with a seal on a trip to the beach, their imagination takes them on an unforgettable journey. Through their eyes, we see everything the amazing beach and wide, wide sea have to offer . . . until suddenly, a violent storm blows in.

The next morning the beach is ugly . . . and covered in litter. Whose fault is it? And who can fix it? Together, the child, their grandmother, and the rest of the community clean the beach, and the child makes a promise to the seal that things will change for the better.
