"AS MELUSINAS À MARGEM DO RIO" | 82' | 2023
Born in Luxembourg to immigrant families, five women reflect on countries, identities, fragments, and mermaids. While searching through hills and rivers for Melusina, the legendary and shapeshifting mermaid of Luxembourg City, the director engages in conversations with four women about their uncertain identities: what it means to be an immigrant without being one, and to be Luxembourgish without truly being one.
