Lu Over The Wall

Description

“Electrifying! A delightful film about mermaids, music and growing up”, Cecilia D’Anastasio, Kotaku
From the visionary mind of Masaaki Yuasa (The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl ) comes a joyous twist at the classic fairy tale about a bit mermaid who comes ashore to sign up for a middle-school rock band and propel them to fame.
After his circle of relatives moves from Tokyo to a small fishing village, teenager Kai spends his days sulking and adrift. When his classmates invite him to play keyboard of their band, their jam sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu, a young mermaid whose fins turn to feet when she hears the beats, and whose making a song causes humans to compulsively dance. But if an ancient prophecy threatens Lu and the village, Kai and his new friends should save the day on this toe-tapping adventure for all the circle of relatives.
