The Melusinas at the Edge of the River(EADF2025)
Born in Luxembourg to immigrant families, five women reflect on countries, identities, fragments, and mermaids. While searching among mountains and rivers for Melusina, the mutant and legendary mermaid of the city of Luxembourg, the director talks to four women about their uncertain identities: what it is like to be an immigrant without being one, and to be Luxembourgish without being one – it is a journey through memories in rainy times, a search for ever-fragmented identities, and an uncertain attempt at reconciliations.
