Titanic Ocean

In a dreamlike boarding school in Tokyo, mermaids are brought up and trained. The film follows 17-year-old Akame, who discovers her mermaid voice, experiences her first love, and undergoes an extraordinary transformation. Behind the fairytale world of the mermaids, however, intense expectations, pressure to perform, and fierce rivalry soon surface, testing even the closest friendships. Konstantina Kotzamani crafts a magical visual universe for this enchanting story, keeping the audience submerged underwater and hypnotically immersed in the depths of the ocean.
