Synopsis
A pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters in an alternate 1980s Poland are drawn ashore to explore the wonders and temptations of life on land. Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly auras make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers in a half-glam, half-decrepit fantasy world. One sister falls for a human, and the siblings’ bond is tested as love and survival come into conflict.
