Ondine

Oscar-winning filmmaker Neil Jordan’s ONDINE follows Syracuse (Colin Farrell), a lonely fisherman who one day pulls a beautiful woman named Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) out of the sea in his nets. His young daughter Annie is convinced that she is a “selkie” - a creature from Irish folklore much like a mermaid. Syracuse has his doubts, but as Ondine brings some luck and joy to his otherwise downcast life, he starts to think she might be right.

“Colin Farrell and Alicja Bachleda have a delicate, sure-footed chemistry in ONDINE, Neil Jordan’s enchanting love story of an Irish fisherman and the mysterious sprite who gets caught in his net. Jordan (Mona Lisa, The Crying Game) expertly mingles whimsy with grit—the fisherman’s young daughter is on dialysis, and terrifying brutes stalk Ondine—to create beguiling entertainment.” (Karen Durbin, Elle)
