People living at a seashore town are frightened by reports of an unknown creature called "the sea devil". Nobody knows what it is, but it's really the son of doctor Salvator. The doctor performed surgery on his son and now young Ichtiander can live under water. This gives him certain advantages, but also creates a lot of problems.

VIBE

A hauntingly beautiful, tragic romance. It feels like a melancholic fairy tale, exploring the loneliness of being different and the impossible yearning for connection. The visuals are dreamlike, evoking a sense of wonder tinged with sadness.
