Born in Luxembourg to immigrant families, five women reflect on countries, identities, fragments and mermaids. While searching through hills and rivers for Melusina, the mutant and legendary mermaid of Luxembourg City, the director talks to four women about their uncertain identities: what it is to be an immigrant without being one, and to be Luxembourgish without being one. A journey through memories in rainy times. A search for ever-fragmented identities. An uncertain attempt at reconciliation.
