"Presented as the world premiere in the Portuguese Competition programme of Doclisboa, The Melusinas at the Edge of the River poetically examines travails experienced by children of immigrants in Luxembourg. Using photos and home video movies shot in the late 1990s and early 2000s punctuated by allegorical visual metaphors, the film spins a rhythmical tale of reflections of four young women on processes accompanying growing up in a country they couldn’t fully see as their own. Although all four characters in the film come from immigrant backgrounds, they come from families of various nationalities, cultures, and languages, testifying to many shades and attitudes toward the prevailing sense of otherness they live through."
