That is, until the day she crosses paths with Anemone, a professional mermaid passing through the region. She decides to take the plunge and dive into the world of mermaiding.

Alexia, 32, is from Fécamp, a small fishing port on the cliffs of Normandy. In this city in decline, this young maid, flirtatious and lonely trying to escape his daily life. Legs gathered in a large tail covered with scales, she plunges into the sea and escapes. A secret ritual, until the day she decides to register for the Miss Sirène France contest. For a year, she trains tirelessly, doing pool training, jogging in the early morning on the cliffs. As the competition approaches, Alexia opens to the world, exposes herself to the eyes, makes dream, amuses sometimes or disturbs some.

Hans, Heidi, Mario, Martina and Frank are of different ages and from different walks of life but share a nostalgia for the GDR. 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, they tell us about their disappointments, their discomfort and the still vibrant memory of this past time.
