Plots(1)
The Sea King has several daughters but loves the youngest the most – the little mermaid. He surprises her one day by taking her to see the sinking of a ship. He's giving everything in the ship to her. Unfortunately, she falls in love with a handsome prince on the ship. She saves his life and takes him to the safety of the seashore. From this moment, the infatuated mermaid can't think of anything but on meeting the handsome prince at least once. Her father is angry with her, but the girl is stubborn. She doesn't hesitate to ask for magical help from a horrible sea witch... (Zlín Film Festival)
