Syrenka

In an attempt to put off the wedding for just a bit longer, Hans convinces Hanush to let him and Henry travel across Bohemia, and all the way to Poland to see the sea. What should have been a joyous trip with his best friend, is instead filled with tension that neither of them know how to breach. There are experiences Hans wants to try, and places he wants to be. There are talks he needs to have with this man he has come to see as something way beyond what the mere title friend can cover. Hans doesn’t want to talk about the future, but they have to.

Where does Henry fit in in Hans' upcoming new life? Can Hans ask Henry to stay when there is nothing he can offer him? In a society where he will never be seen as anything else than others? Would it be kinder to let him find a place where someone like him could be free?

At the coast of the Baltic sea, is a village. Its seas are filled with mermaids that drag down ships that cross their waters. Yet the villagers seem awfully fine with having something so monstrous close to their home.
