The mysterious appearance of a young woman (Allira Jaques) washed up starkers on Mim Beach turns the sleepy town into a tailspin. Is she a mermaid, why does she have amnesia, what is going on with her craving for coffee? Meanwhile, it's the celebration day of Seafront Sands' Bicentennial, with developers circling, and many of the seemingly happy townsfolk lost in love, and in desperate need of a shot of cupid's arrow. Now named Mim, after the beach where she was found, the young woman has a profound effect on everyone she comes into contact with: a hard as nails local councilwoman, her retired Naval Captain brother (John Jarratt), a grieving widow running the local cafe, a sensitive policeman afraid to pop the question and his assistant who thinks that he's Tom Selleck; and Harrison (Mitchell Hope), a handsome young man who runs a dating agency with Emily (Steph Tisdell), his sassy assistant. When Mim makes a particularly strong connection with Harrison, it looks like a match made in heaven, but during the course of one eventful day, big secrets are revealed that will make this a mythical event that will change everyone's life forever.

Jude D @RT85573608 Aug 29, 2023 Awful movie. Starts off well, but turns into a stupid movie with a completely unrealistic premise, and very poor acting. It has a stupid gay story line that sets up as a straight story line with a bait and switch. The main characters only grab you because they are attractive , but the supposed love interest turns out to be his immortal mother. 😳 The side characters are either ridiculous caricatures or utterly wooden. Beware the make out scence between the obese woman and the awkward cop. Disturbingly gross. This movie is an absolute waste of time, and undermines the efforts of Australian filmmakers to be taken seriously on the world stage.
