The Selke

This is a story about the tension between love and freedom. It is about not being able to be in two places at once, torn between land and sea, the conscious and the subconscious, a difficult togetherness and a lonely autonomy... The first thing she knew was the sea. But Sabine's heart longed for more, and more was what Billie gave her. A shining, full to bursting, not-let-you-get-a-word-in, all laughing, all consuming land-locked life. A bosom friend and a world as dazzling as it is disturbing. Now, grown women, the tide is turning. While rooted in love, the vine of their bond has grown thorny and brittle, and Billie can sense Sabine pulling away. Will the call of the sea prevail? How far will Billie go to keep her friend close? If friendship is a balance of freedom and togetherness, trust is the scales.
