ondine (2009). directed by neil jordan.


i like how this story weaves the reality of being a drug mule where women are often trafficked into the trade, with the myth of a mermaid, something that a child can digest, and distract adults from the incessant  worries of the world. it is also a story of second chances, both for the mermaid, and the fisherman who rescued her. it is so dreamy at times, in a good way. 

and you root for these people to get a happy ending, because we all need second chances.
