Mermaids

Set in a contemporary coastal environment with modern policing and technology. The mermaid sisters travel between underwater and land, using everyday locations like cafes and sea parks to interact with humans. A treasure hunt and a murder investigation anchor the plot in the here and now.

The action unfolds on the open sea and in a nearby coastal town. It moves between a working waterfront, a cafe where Venus performs, a sea park where June works, and a warehouse where Mallick stores the merman’s body. The setting blends harsh maritime industry with moments of ordinary life among humans who are unaware of the mermaid world.

👭 Sisterhood

Three mermaid sisters with very different lives reunite to take action after their father’s murder. They navigate rival personalities, loyalties, and protective instincts to safeguard their world from human threats. The film uses their shared bond to explore resilience, trust, and the costs of keeping secrets. Despite conflicts, the sisters choose to stand together against Mallick and help each other find justice.

🐟 Sea exploitation

The film centers on violent, illegal fishing and the desecration of coral reefs, driven by greed. Mallick’s willingness to harm marine life and murder demonstrates how exploitation harms both people and ecosystems. The mermaids’ interference reveals a clash between human appetite for wealth and the sea’s fragile balance. The treasure quest also ties greed to moral consequences.

🗝️ Hidden identities

The sisters hide their true mermaid nature from humans as they navigate land and sea. Powers like Diana’s trident and Venus’s siren abilities create tension around secrecy and protection. The revelation of June’s identity strains relationships with Randy and challenges how humans react to miracles and myths. The story uses disguise and truth to question what it means to belong.
