Ondine

The story of a fisherman and his unusual catch.

Academy Award winning writer-director Neil Jordan returns with a lyrical modern fairy tale which tells the story of Syracuse (Colin Farrell), a loathsome, irresponsible, Irish fisherman who is separated from his former wife and distanced from Annie (Alison Barry), his wheelchair-bound daughter.

His life is transformed when he catches a beautiful and mysterious woman (Alicja Bachleda) in his nets. She appears to be dead but, miraculously, comes back to life before his eyes. His daughter Annie comes to believe that the woman is a magical creature.

The world-weary Syracuse soon finds himself believing that this charming lady may well be a myth come true, a woman sent to change his life, as he begins to fall hopelessly in love with her. However, like all fairy tales, enchantment and darkness go hand in hand.
