More About "The Fisherman’s Wife":
It’s the near future after total environmental collapse. The oceans are dead; pollution clouds the sky. In the wreckage of former industry a fisherman struggles to sustain himself and his daughter. His net catches only plastic refuse and animal carcasses.
One bleak morning, after another failed fishing expedition, the fisherman makes a surprise discovery: a mermaid, washed ashore. She’s tangled in a net, terrified, and struggling to breathe.
Desperate and lonely, he brings her back to the decrepit building he calls a home, makes her dinner, and introduces her to his daughter.
They then gather around the table, to eat. The Fisherman, the Daughter, and the Mermaid… to an extent.
