    • Synopsis
    • Camila is a young 24-year-old woman who suffers from amnesia: she remembers little to none about her childhood in the coast, in the sea, because of a traumatic event when she was a child. She replaced the pain and emptiness from her loss with an imaginary world where the perception of reality is unique and extraordinary, where details are brought to life, where a giant fish her guardian.

      Camila escapes from a blurry past and in that escape meets Jose, a delivery guy with whom she falls in love. But one day Jose disappears, and Camila has to stop running and go look for her lost love, and in that process find the missing pieces of her memory.

      “Fishgirl” is the urban and fantastic portrait that inhabits a dimension at the same time tragic and dazzling, tender and dark, a dimension illuminated with characters as everyday as they are fantastical.
