Two mermaids join a band of musicians linked to the world of dance in ‘80s Warsaw. Strident music, neon lights and sparkling sequin.
Silver and Gold have a supernatural beauty. It’s literally supernatural: they are mermaids; unique and dangerously angelical specimens of the mythical fish-women species, who emerge from the Vístula river as if coming from the spooky fairy tale that precedes the hypnotic opening credits. And they quickly take their vigor to a lost place in space-time: the pop and slightly punk night-scene of ‘80s Warsaw, a place of sensorial and emotional liberation during the last years of the Soviet era. Living in a world of horrible men, the girls will soon reveal their predatory nature, and shape this sort of lysergic, danceable, and bloodthirsty revisiting of Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”, with such a charming power that no one –on both ends of the screen– will be safe.
