Directed by Talyah Buske
Two worlds, the land dwellers and the sea dwellers. Tzet, a siren, caught in a net makes her way to the Melissa Kelly where she meets David, a deaf fi sherman. Noticing her caution he takes her in and pays her no attention. Their bond slowly becomes a friendship and he shows her the beauty of the land and the ocean when suddenly, Tom comes aboard Davids boat, a fi sherman on the hunt for sirens for money. He questions him if he has money. After Euripides and Parthenope two sirens come to visit, they tell Tzet Tom killed a siren and are after her. Not believing them she stays on board when she doesnt notice Tom board the boat. David tries to protect Tzet but through a tussle, David gets knocked off the boat into the water and Tzet saves him. Parthenope boards and almost kills Tom when she notices a drawing, Tom’s child’s drawing, she leaves him. Days later Tzet sits on the boat with Euripides laughing. Days later Tzet and Euripides swim in the water with David looking down at them.
