Although Mermaids have been traditional symbols of fertility and a sexuality so powerful as to be a danger to shipping, details of their reproductive processes have been scarce. The film reveals the cycle of laying, fertilising and hatching as well as the previously secret role of storm-wrecked sailors.
Dark gothic puppet animation based on a section of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy, Titus Groan.
Swimming through a meadow collecting mushrooms, a girl meets her wildness in the form of a hare. Bang! They are shot. They tumble into the earth. The girl wrestles with her wildness to subdue him and to pay for her mushrooms.
