See the films the platforms disagree about most →Two carnivorous mermaid sisters emerge from the sea into the surreal world of a 1980s Warsaw nightclub. They are adopted as singing sensations, their eerie allure captivating audiences. One sister falls in love with a human, a relationship that conflicts with their primal nature and the dangerous bond they share. This dark musical fantasy explores themes of otherness, desire, and the painful choice between belonging and one's inherent identity.
