Water Nymph

On the shores of the Black Sea in Russia, a six-year-old girl named Alisa (Anastasiya Dontsova) ) lives with her mother (Mariya Sokova) and grandmother. On weekdays, the grandfather and grandson stay at home, while the mother works hard to make money and complains a lot. Little Alisa wanted to learn ballet, but her mother opposed her and was sent to a choir class. After a solar eclipse, Alyssa decided not to say a word. Her mother sought medical treatment everywhere, and finally had no choice but to send her daughter to a special school. Alisa (Mariya Shalayeva) spent ten years here and thought she had learned the special power of how to make her wishes come true. Her wish makes the boring life colorful, although bad things often happen... The film won the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival Film Critics' FIPRESCI Award, the 2008 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Best Independent Film, the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Director Award, etc.
