Na-young works at a post office and is sick and tired of being around her shamefully unyielding mother and her pushover father who’s excessively nice. The only thing that she can look forward to is her trip abroad in a few days. But one day, her father leaves home without any notice. Her mother doesn’t care what happens to him and doesn’t care to look for him. Na-young has no choice but to give up her dream trip abroad and to search for her father instead. Once she arrives at her parents’ hometown, Na-young is shocked to meet someone she’d never expect, even in her dreams.

The person who appears before Na-young is her 20-year old mother, Yeon-soon, who looks just like Na-young. The world that Na-young falls into is the time and place her mother lived in 30 years ago. Yeon-soon thinks of her future daughter, Na-young, as her friend and treats her very nice. Na-young is shocked over her mother’s pure and innocent appearance, which is totally different from what her mother will be years later. Na-young so happens to live there with her mother, Yeon-soon, and soon after she discovers that her mother has an unrequited love for a young postman. The postman, who rides a bicycle with his glittering eyes, is none other than her father Jin-kook

After falling into this mysterious world, Na-young gets tangled up in the middle of the love that unfolds between her mother and father.

You'll be mesmerized by a totally new and exhilirating fantasy that breaks the limit of time and space in a theater near you.

"My Mother The Mermaid" is a fantasy movie that takes us to those unfamiliar yet curious times and places of our parents' younger years. But unlike your regular fantasy movie and the images that come with it, "My Mother, The Mermaid" is instead a 'heartwarming fantasy movie' that encompasses a unique environment, which is sometimes comic and sometimes heartfelt.

Those who watch this movie will be absorbed by its fresh story where a young woman named Na-young goes back into the times and moments of her then 20-year old mother who's experiencing her first love, which is now her father.

On a small island decades ago, the townsfolk are all eating cakes while getting ready to get their picture taken in front of the town's first bus in history.

Na-young's uncle also lives on the island, but not as the greedy sharp-dressing real estate agent that he is in the present, but as a troublemaking foul-mouthed middle school student with a crew cut.

In a story that jumps in time and space, the elements of an innocent love of a twenty-year old girl and the fantastic events that unfold between Na-young and her younger mother are brilliantly matched up to create a breath-taking experience.

You will be entranced and moved by a unique story unlike any movie you've seen before.
