This fanciful, imaginative comedy revolves around a quirky dreamer named Annika, who works in a supermarket but dreams of the perfect artificial mermaid fin. She’s convinced that finding that fin will bring glamour into her drab life. As if her job isn’t bad enough, one day her father appears at her door asking to move in; her friend Karo dedicates her energy to her latest romantic affair and asks Annika to look after her two children; her new boyfriend Marc, who spends a night with Annika, wants to stay because he doesn’t have an apartment of his own. To make matters worse, staff cut-backs are coming at the supermarket and the manager is looking for potential lay-offs. But none of this matters: Annika just has to have that fin! But how will she ever get it? Offbeat fun!
