“One enchanted evening in early ’80s Warsaw, Poland, famished heart-eating sister sirens Golden and Silver emerge from the sea in search of prey. They soon find themselves joining an erotic discotheque act, enabling them to use their transformative mermaid skills as a rather ultimate dancer performance attribute. They call their act “The Lure”. The plan is to stay in human form temporarily in order to explore earthly experiences, but things become complicated when Silver develops feelings for her act’s bass player. Here it is, people… A poetic and visually extravagant exploration of femininity and girlhood steeped in a vibrant, magical atmosphere that veers from the carnivalesque to the kink-spiked carnal, exploding with song, sensuality, sea water and blood in a jaw-dropping, goth-popping menagerie of invention. You’ve never seen anything like it.” – Mitch Davis, Fantasia Film Festival
