In Kiryat Ham, small town on the north coast of Israel, everything seems to have stopped. Lana, a rebellious teenager, vowed to fight against resignation and immobilism. She couldn’t imagine that the rumor of a mermaid off the coast would wake up her town from its torpidity and give her the possibility to finally live.
À Kiryat Yam, petite ville sur la côte nord d’Israël, tout semble être arrêté. Lana, adolescente révoltée, s’est jurée de lutter contre l’immobilisme et la résignation. Elle est loin d’imaginer que c’est la rumeur d’une sirène qui va réveiller sa ville de sa torpeur et lui permettre enfin de vivre.
