Synopsis
Will humanity ever be accepting of the outsider? Or are they destined to suffer as the Merman did hundreds of years ago? Madeleine Wynn's film uses the medieval myth of the Merman to weave around issues of present day prejudice.
Haunted by what she has seen while carrying out humanitarian work with refugees in the Mediterranean and traumatised by her experiences, Mari returns to her parents coastal home in rural England. There, through an unlikely acquaintance, she discovers the medieval legend of the Merman. The truth behind this seemingly innocent myth is darker than Mari could imagine. The message it bears across the centuries restores her resolve.
