Charlotte (Winona Ryder) is an awkward teenager torn between her passion for a boy...and her desire to be a nun. And her quirky little sis (Christina Ricci) and flamboyant mom (Cher), who routinely moves them from town to town, only make things worse. These three couldn’t be more at odds, but when the going gets tough, they find that there’s nothing they can’t face as long as they have each other.
Mermaids Film Synopsis

But when Charlotte's attraction to an older man gets in the way, the family must learn to accept each other for who they truly are.

Deutsch Die attraktive Mrs. Flax ist alles andere als seßhaft. Wann immer eine ihrer Romanzen in die Brüche geht, zieht sie in eine neue Stadt. Bislang 18 mal. Die Töchter reagieren äußerst eigenwillig auf ihre unstete Mutter. Die 15jährige Charlotte sucht Zuflucht im katholischen Glauben. Ihre kleine Schwester Kate ist eine besessene Schwimmerin. Neueste Bleibe der Familie Flax ist eine kleine Stadt in New England. Kaum angekommen, stürzt sich Mama sogleich in ein Abenteuer mit dem liebestrunkenen Schuhverkäufer des Ortes. Doch auch die ernste, streng gläubige Charlotte erfährt schon bald, jenseits aller Gebete, irdische Zuwendung...

Português Em plenos anos 60, uma espirituosa mãe solteira (Cher) cuida com carinho de suas duas filhas. Mas seu jeito de ser, sexy e descompromissado, cria confusões na cabeça da filha adolescente (Winona Ryder) que, apesar de judia, alimenta sonhos de se tornar uma freira.
Magyar Egyedül neveli két gyermekét a középkorú Rachel a Kennedy-korszak Amerikájában. A nő szenvedélyes egyéniség, erős, önérvényesítő jellem. Szüksége is van erre, hiszen keményen meg kell küzdenie a mindennapi megélhetésért. Emellett nap mint nap reménytelen harcot kell folytatnia a nehezen nevelhető tinédzser lányával. A férfiak állandóan ostromolják Rachelt, akinek ha tönkremegy a kapcsolata, szedi a sátorfáját, és két lányával új lakóhelyet keres. Eddig tizennyolcszor költözött. Az öregség ellen a változtatással harcol, és nem veszi észre, hogy mindkét lánya igazi családra, biztonságra vágyik.
Français En 1963, une mère célibataire atypique emménage avec ses deux filles dans une petite ville du Massachusetts, où certains événements mettent leurs liens familiaux à l'épreuve.
עִבְרִית השנה היא 1963. שר מגלמת אם גרושה לשתי בנות, אישה משוחררת ונועזת לפי הסטנדרטים האמריקאים השמרניים של אותן השנים. הבת הבכורה מתביישת באמה. היא מתקשה להתמודד עם ההתעוררות המינית שלה ונעה בין קיצוניות אחת לשנייה (כמרד במוצאה היהודי היא רוצה להצטרף למנזר הסמוך ומאידך מתאהבת בצעיר מקומי). בעל חנות מקומי מתאהב באם ומנסה להפוך את התא המשפחתי הנשי למשפחה ככל המשפחות. שילוב מוצלח בין קומדיה ודרמה והופעה נפלאה של וינונה ריידר כבת המתבגרת.
Український Місіс Флекс - жінка незвичайна і оригінальна. Вона сексуальна, смілива до нахабства, вічно чимось і кимось незадоволена, особливо дочками. Шарлотті п'ятнадцять років, і вона має намір стати черницею. Дев'ятирічна Кейт мріє стати чемпіонкою з плавання і тренується у ванні. Лу Ландські, чоловік із золотим серцем, намагається перетворити цю божевільну трійцю в нормальну сім'ю. А враховуючи, що місіс Флекс звикла вирішувати проблеми методом переїзду в інше місто - важко сказати, що може статися, якщо старша дочка закохається, а молодша в цей час потрапить в халепу ... Не випадково офіційний слоган фільму говорить "Це наша мати. Помоліться за нас!"

Polski Rok 1963. Pani Flax (Cher) po kolejnym nieudanym związku, przeprowadza się do innego miasta. Jej córki Charlotte (Winona Ryder) i Kate (Christina Ricci) są już do tego przyzwyczajone, ponieważ ich matka postępuje tak zawsze, gdy kończy swoje związki z mężczyznami. Jednak tym razem poznaje Lou (Bob Hoskins), któremu bardzo zależy na tym, aby się ustatkowała i stworzyła z nim szczęśliwą rodzinę, dla jej córek. W tym samym czasie głęboko wierząca Charlotte, która chciała iść do klasztoru, przeżywa swoją pierwszą miłość...
Nederlands Ryder levert een fantastische prestatie als Charlotte, een puber die verscheurt wordt tussen haar ontluikende passie voor de knappe congiërge ( Michael Schoeffling).. En haar wens om non te worden. Haar problemen als puber worden aanzienlijk bemoeilijkt door haar kleine zusje ( Christina Ricci) die zwemster wil worden en door hun moeder (Cher) , een onconventionele, sexy en opvallende vrouw die haar familie steeds verhuist als zij een schandaal veroorzaakt! Door hun verschillen merken deze 3 vrouwen dat niets ook geen levens bedreigende drama hun familiebanen kan verbreken. Mermaid is een hartverwarmende film en een 'betoverende mengeling van komedie en nostalgie ' ( The Wall Street Journal) die smaakt naar meer.
български език Ню Ингланд... в началото на 60-те. Комедия за сексапилна и непредсказуема майка на две деца, която непрекъснато предизвиква притеснението и срама на обърканата си 15-годишна дъщеря, опитваща се да се справи със собственото си сексуално съзряване.
svenska Mrs Flax är en kvinna som flyttar runt i USA efter varje sprucket förhållande. Äldsta dottern Charlotte är trött på det kringflackande livet och söker tryggheten i religionen. Hon blir förvirrad då hon istället möter kärleken i kyrkvaktmästaren Joe.
한국어/조선말 성적으로 개방되고 자유분망한 여성 플랙스(Mrs. Flax: 쉐어 분)는 두 딸을 가진 젊은 엄마이다. 그녀는 가는곳마다 스캔들을 벌이며 이리저리 옮겨 다니길 좋아한다. 플랙스는 특히 고교생인 큰딸 샤롯(Charlotte Flax: 위노나 라이더 분)과 항상 마찰을 일으킨다. 플랙스 일가는 한 시골 마을에 정착한다. 그 마을에서 그녀는 구두가게 주인인 홀아비 루(Lou Landsky: 봅 호스킨스 분)와 가깝게 지낸다. 큰 딸 샤롯은 이때부터 방탕한 어머니와 종교적인 자신의 환상 사이에서 가벼운 정신 이상의 상태에 빠진다. 샤롯은 근처 수녀원에서 일하는 미남 청년 죠(Joe: 마이클 쉐프링 분)에게 사랑을 느낀다. 그녀는 그와의 키스를 한 후 자신이 동정녀 마리아처럼 예수같은 아기를 잉태했다고 믿는다. 어느날 샤롯은 동생 캐티(Kate Flax: 크리스티 리치 분)와 함께 죠가 있는 종탑엘 간다. 샤롯은 거기서 죠와 관계를 갖는다. 동생 캐티는 이때 냇가에서 놀다 급류에 떠내려 간다. 급기야 죠와 샤롯의 관계는 마을에 널리 퍼지고 동생 캐티는 겨우 목숨을 건진다. 이 사건으로 매사 마찰을 겪던 플랙스 부인과 샤롯은 크게 다툰다. 자신의 불행한 전철을 밟지 않게 하려는 모성과 자신은 방탕하면서 딸에 대해선 간섭이 심한 엄마의 이중성에 대한 샤롯의 분노가 서로 폭발한다. 그 싸움 후 둘은 서로를 보다 잘 이해하고 그 가족 모두 그마을의 생활에 익숙해져 간다. 서로를 따뜻하게 위하면서.
Română După încă o relație eșuată, doamna Flax își ia cele două fete și se mută, conform obiceiului, în alt oraș. Numai că aici va veni rândul fiicei ei cea mare să se îndrăgostească și să sufere, pentru că doamna Flax întâlnește în sfârșit bărbatul ce o face fericită și alături de care poate să-și trăiască viața.
Türkçe Denizkızları, 1960’ların Amerika’sında alışılmışın dışında bir aile olan Flax’ların öyküsünü anlatıyor. İzleyiciyi aynı anda güldüren, düşündüren ve ağlatabilen bu hareketli hikayenin kahramanları; kendine has özgür ruhlu bir kadın olan anne Rachel, yahudi olmasına aldırmadan rahibe olmayı kafaya koymuş ve hormanları çıldırmış durumdaki teenage abla Charlotte ve 9 yaşındaki yüzme şampiyonu Kate. Anneyi Cher, ablayı Winona Rider ve küçük kardeşi Christina Ricci canlandırdığında, elbette ortaya izlemesi müthiş keyifli ve unutulmaz bir film çıkıyor.

Oscar® winner Tom Hanks (Captain Phillips) stars with Shelley Long in this hilarious comedy from executive producer Steven Spielberg. Walter (Hanks) and Anna (Long) believe they’ve arrived “home sweet home” when they buy the house of their dreams. But life quickly becomes a nightmare as their dilapidated mansion falls apart around them, and they struggle to stay together even as they slide further into The Money Pit. It’s outrageous entertainment for anyone who’s ever been deeply in love… or deeply in debt… or both!
In a futuristic resort, wealthy patrons can visit recreations of different time periods and experience their wildest fantasies with life-like robots. But when Richard Benjamin ("Goodbye, Columbus") opts for the wild west, he gets more than he bargained for when a gunslinger robot, portrayed by Academy Award-winner Yul Brynner ("The King and I", "The Magnificent Seven"), goes berserk. Written and directed by "Jurassic Park" author and "E.R." creator Michael Crichton. With Emmy-winner James Brolin ("Marcus Welby, M.D.", "Hotel") and Dick Van Patten (TV's "Eight is Enough"). Followed by a sequel, "Futureworld".
Truth is stranger than fiction in this satiric comedy about an honest Air Force officer's attempt to expose a case of government spending gone mad! How could the government spend 17 years and $14 billion developing a simple troop carrier? Colonel Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride) is determined to find out...and Pentagon general Kelsey Grammer (TV's Frasier) is just as determined to stop him! Directed by Richard Benjamin; teleplay by Jamie Malanowski and Martyn Burke, based on the book by James Burton.
Based on author Phillip Roth' novella, Goodbye Columbus stars Richard Benjamin as Neil, a young man of humble means who falls in love with Jewish-American-princess Brenda (Ali MacGraw). Their romance is out of the question, as far as Brenda's suburbanite parents are concerned, so Neil and Brenda go to great lengths to keep their whirlwind romance under wraps. The trendy, New Wave-influenced direction by Larry Peerce gained a great deal of critical attention in 1969, but far more memorable is Peerce's amusingly straight-on depictions of upper-class Jewish/American social functions.
It's 1954 - the era of live television. A hapless production assistant is given the formidable assignment to keep his movie star idol, the alcoholic womanizing Alan Swann, out of trouble long enough so Swann can appear on the popular network show, "King Kaiser's Comedy Hour." Oscar-winner Peter O'Toole ("Lawrence of Arabia," "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," "The Stuntman") received his seventh Oscar-nomination for his hilarious portrayal of the Errol Flynn-like Swann. Mark Linn-Baker (TV's "Perfect Strangers") plays the production assistant while Joseph Bologna ("Citizen Cohn," "The Woman in Red") gives an outstanding performance as the Syd Caesar-like King Kaiser. With Jessica Harper ("Pennies from Heaven") and Laine Kazan ("Beaches"). Directed by Richard Benjamin ("Mrs. Winterbourne," "Racing with the Moon").

Giving up control isn't easy, so Marki makes sure she's still the queen bee--at home and in Hollywood.
