Seductive strangeness in a disco punk horror musical fantasy from Poland about a pair of mermaids who leave the sea and land jobs as nightclub entertainers. It's a flashy, splashy, trashy, fairy-tale nightmare world out there, but sooner or later, a mermaid's gotta do what a mermaid's gotta do, so be careful. The photo shoot in fishnets and bunny ears is eye-catching, but nothing compares to those long, sleek, spiky, slimy tails.
