Titanic Ocean

Based on fragments of myths and archetypes such as The Little Mermaid and the myth of Sirens, Titanic Ocean is a blend of harsh realism and magical surrealism. Set in a professional mermaid school, an unconventional fairytale unfolds. Love, Eros, Death and Metamorphosis reign. The film follows the lives of teenage girls in today’s digital era, who are trying to fulfil their dream: to become professional mermaids. It endeavors to debate the complexity of a new generation’s perception of existence, mediated by digital virtuality, social media and pop culture. Questioning human identity and challenging social roles and norms. Each girl has a traumatic backstory and wanders around the pools with a blurry ego. Not belonging to their families, race or species, the girls are in search of self- discovery and of forming significant relationships with one another. Challenging both their physical and emotional limits, they want and attempt to escape. But even if you flee to the very bottom of the world, you cannot escape life.
