Movie description:
Three boys play idly along the beach until their discovery of a mermaid, washed ashore, changes the course of the next few hours. As their curiosity escalates, they lay claim to the creature, whose mystery both attracts and repels them.
A trio of young boys find a dead body in a remote wooded area. Sounds like »Stand By Me«, right? Wrong, especially since the body here is that of a mermaid and the boys spend an afternoon poking, prodding and desecrating the body the way only young, curious lads can. Still it’s an oddly touching story about peer pressure and growing up. The trio is split among the typical dividing lines: The aggressive kid who tricks the weakest into the most difficult situations while the passive middle kid just casually observes without getting involved. Plus, the corpse (mermaid) make-up effect is disturbingly convincing.
Short film about three boys who discover what they think is a dead mermaid. This is a film that explores the fine line between compassion and cruelty and takes three boys on macabre »rite of passage«.
