# The Lure (2015)

2015 · 92 min · Drama, Horror, Music · Poland

Original title: Córki Dancingu

## Synopsis

The Lure is a 2015 Polish musical horror film directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska and written by Robert Bolesto. It tells the story of two sirens who emerge from the waters and perform in a nightclub. One falls in love with a man, and gives up her tail, but loses her voice in the process. The story is a reworking of the 1837 fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen, with inspiration from Smoczyńska's experiences. After premiering in Poland, the film screened at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and Fantasia Film Festival to positive reviews.
