"A Fairytale Romance" by Kate Haley
A mermaid washes up on the beach unconscious. She wakes up in a beautiful bathroom, unsure of how she got there. Kept and cared for by a mysterious stranger, her dreams of romance fuel her belief in a fairy-tale ending. Love has never cut so deep.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
"A Fairytale Romance" explores the true love we're sold as children, often just another form of exploitation, where difference is hunted, and female bodies can find themselves in grave danger. It is a siren's warning about the darker side of humanity, and a quiet dismantling of the romance we are taught to believe in.”
