Description: In the 1980s, two mermaids named Golden and Silver come across a rock band called Figs n’ Dates while they are relaxing and playing music on a beach in Poland. The mermaids join the band and start performing at their regular nightclub, working as strippers and backup singers. Eventually, they form their own act, “The Lure,” with the band supporting them. Golden kills a bar patron one night and begins to crave blood, while Silver falls in love with the bassist, Mietek. However, Mietek only sees her as a fish rather than a woman.
Golden later meets Triton, another sea creature and a singer in a metal band, who warns her that if Silver falls in love and her beloved marries someone else, she will turn into sea foam. He also mentions that removing her tail will cause her to lose her voice. When Golden’s murder victim is discovered, Silver and Golden are attacked by a bandmate, seemingly killed, and thrown into a river. However, they return alive, and the band apologizes. Silver undergoes surgery to replace her tail with legs in hopes of winning Mietek’s affection, but she loses her singing voice as a result. When she attempts to be intimate with Mietek, he is repulsed by the blood from her surgical scars.
Mietek later marries another woman he meets at a recording studio. The sisters attend the wedding, where Golden and Triton remind Silver that she must eat Mietek before dawn or else she will turn into sea foam. Although Silver dances with Mietek, she cannot bring herself to harm him and ultimately transforms into sea foam in his arms. Overcome with grief, Golden kills Mietek and returns to the ocean, leaving the wedding guests in shock.
