Seven emotionless princesses.
Three ghostly sirens.
A beautiful malicious witch haunted by memories.
A handsome, self-mutilating prince.
Belonging to a race that is mostly animale with a little humanity, a world obsessed with beauty where morality holds no sway, a little mermaid escapes to the oceans surface. Discovering music, a magnificent place of glass and limestone, and a troubled human prince, she is driven by love to consult the elusive sea witch who secretly dominates the entire species of merfolk. Upon paying an enormous price for her humanity, the little mermaid begins a new life, uncovering secrets of sexuality and the Immortal Soul. As a deadly virus threatens to contaminate the bloodstreams of the whole merfolk race, the little mermaid must choose between the lives of her people, the man she loves, or herself.
A complete reinvention of Hans Christian Andersens classic fairy tale, this is a magical-realist fabel that captures the essence of sacrifice and the price of humanity.
