Two beautiful girls, a lake, trees, and an elderly gentleman casually fishing. What happens if the girls go mermaid? Sergei Solovyov himself plays the man too old to care for the strange ideas of some gorgeous nymphs. A cinematic bagatelle by a director whose art and heart was always with the young.
