Like an Asian version of Frances Ha, this story is about a girl who loves dancing and is itself like a beautiful solo dance exploring the female body and soul.

媲美亞洲版的《紐約哈哈哈》。

In her early 30s, Summer lives alone, jobless, with little material wants. Her only passion is dancing. To be more specific, ballroom dancing. Under the tutelage of the legendary gay dancer Donny, Summer embarks on a journey of self-discovery and, perhaps more importantly, the search for the perfect partner.Her hopes are dashed again and again as she witnesses the colorful characters in the ballroom: the arrogant youngster Youlin from a dancing dynasty; the talented Grace who wants nothing but an ordinary life; and the petite Meixin, forever at war with her fiance/partner.As Summer continues her pursuit of Mr. Right, she is forced to confront the dark memories of her past-the slut-shaming from her control-freak mother, the attempted suicide of her cousin, and the painful humiliation of sex with a classmate. She dreams of the perfect dancing body, yet dreads her own sexuality.Mermaid’s Tale is itself like a beautiful solo dance exploring the female body like The Vegetarian and the lonely obsession of dancing and dream-achieving like Frances Ha.

女孩叫夏天,男人叫東尼,他們並不相愛。但他們同樣熱愛舞蹈。她看他跳舞,相信那舞裡有她想要的靈魂,她把自己投入這需要雙人信任的舞蹈,忍受寂寞艱難,成就童話與夢想的光彩。除了愛跳舞的夏天與她全身投入的國標舞老師東尼,還有耀眼並具明星光彩的舞者光希、天份高卻想過平凡生活的女孩子恩、驕縱的舞伴又林和貌合神離的美心夫妻,在舞蹈裡揮灑的他們在台北城市兀自發光,從相遇、相知到分離,交織出一段段熾燦絢爛的故事。
