A bright, buoyant comedy starring the powerhouse trio of Winona Ryder, Cristina Ricci (at 9 years old!), AND Cher who plays the kind of free-loving free spirit she used to sing about in the 1970s. Her character Mrs. Flax avoids becoming known as the town tramp only because she moves each time her life comes crashing down around her. Part eccentric family comedy and part coming of age romance in which the realistic and the bizarre exist side by side, Mermaid is infused with a humanity and warmth rarely found in Hollywood pictures. A perfect appetizer for your programming team’s MARRIAGE!
