Synopsis
In the dystopian post-war “United Korea,” mutated mermen called Omegas are society’s outcasts—exploited as cheap labor in an ecologically decimated, water-poor landscape. As one of these pariahs dies of over-exertion, he tasks a colleague (Goh-woo) with finding his daughter Mia (Yeon Yeji) hiding among humans, so she may receive his fin in a rite of passing. Meanwhile, Sujin (Kim Pureum), a young civil servant, begins doubting the state’s ideology as she pursues the Omega for her own purposes.
