[Berlinale '25] Embracing the hybrid nature of the characters it describes, this film offers a fascinating journey that lies halfway between fiction, documentary and experimentation. The world is seen from the perspective of a mermaid who travels across the United States to meet a community of mermen in Portland, facing the challenges of physical transformation and non-binary identities that are increasingly harassed. Between fantasy and the representation of different realities, it addresses the need for adaptation and the families chosen to offer a queer look within a hostile environment.
