SYNOPSIS<br />
Two mermaid sisters swim out of the sea into a Warsaw nightclub in what could be the 80ies.<br />
They are wild beautiful sexy and hungry for life. While becoming stars practically overnight,<br />
one of them falls in love with a handsome young bass player. This will question their sister<br />
bonds to the limit and will have them make often cruel and bloody choices.<br />
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT<br />
“The Lure” is a genre hybrid. It’s a love story, a musical but also a reverie fantasy horror. An<br />
adult fairytale. I was mostly inspired by the kitschy world of big dance hall parties from the<br />
Communist era which ended when I was about 12. The weird lost characters, the warm vodkas,<br />
the glamour amidst poverty is what my imagination soaked with. Especially that my Mom ran<br />
two restaurants during that not-so-belle époque. “The Lure” is also a coming of age story about<br />
discovering your feminine side, your sexuality and using it for a sometimes controversial<br />
purpose. I was much more inspired by Homer than Disney in terms of a mermaid tale. Also a<br />
little bit by Hans Christian Andersen however my mermaids do not wear bras, they do chew on<br />
human hearts though.
