Like some contemporary fairytale for grownups, The Lure is a genre hybrid that melds melodrama, horror, fantasy and musical elements into a singular coming-of-age tale.
The story begins with sisters Silver (Marta Mazurek) and Gold (Michalina Olszanska), two mermaids who decide to leave the sea behind and become nightclub singers.
Soon, Silver and Gold are the darlings of the Warsaw nightlife scene—a sexy photo shoot where the sisters pull fishnets over their tails is a nice touch—and Silver falls in love with handsome young bass player Mietek (Jakub Gierszal). But their courtship is complicated, not just because Silver has no genitals in her human form. Meanwhile, Gold is tempted to succumb to much darker urges—namely, the thirst for human blood that is the reason mermaids are blessed with angelic voices to begin with. (It's easier to lure men into the water so you can eat them if you sing them a pretty song.) These discordant views on the proper treatment of human men cause a rift between the sisters.
