The Last Mermaid is Denmarks first female superhero movie for the entire family. It takes place quite loosely after the end of Hans Kristian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid (if it was a contemporary tale). It’s an origin story about ‘the last mermaid’ named Jess who needs to be discovered and who needs to embrace who she is, let go of her past, and to believe in love and humanity in order to become the hero she has always been inside, together with her friend Svea, and the two goofball sidekicks from beneath the ocean Brian and Pede, in order to save the world from the evil Sea Witch.
