Concise, poetic, fast moving, and profound its like a well-made movie There is an old legend about the mermaid in a little fishing village. 'If you want to meet the mermaid, climb onto the altar on the beach and give her your poem during the mermaid festival.' The drunk of village, Frank, the merciless jeweler, Carlos, the old pawnbroker, Pitchu, Bachelor Loa, and the most beautiful lady, Princess Olivia come to the beach to meet the mermaid with their own purposes. Carlos wants her scales, Pitchu wants her blood, Loa wants to marry her, and Princess Olivia wants to prove she is more beautiful than the mermaid. But Idam, the boy of the village, comes to know the secrets behind the festival and the legend of the mermaid, and something never expected happens... This story is not just a normal fairy tale. It is a message of hope to all people who are in a struggle between instinct and virtue, pleasure and endurance, compulsion and endeavor for perfection. And it is far from cliche."
