Wide eyed Julián is about to spend the summer with a grandmother he barely knows. He is amazed to discover her treasure trove apartment, his own Caribbean heritage and the lively Brooklyn community he is surrounded by. But most surprising of all, Julián discovers that he is, in fact, a mermaid! Oscar nominated Louise Bagnall has created a story about family, imagination, and the importance of being yourself. The film is inspired by the book “Julian is a Mermaid” (Julian er en havfrue) by Jessica Love.
