Mermaids (35th Anniversary Restoration)

New England...the early 1960s. A sexy and unpredictable single mother of two is a source of constant embarrassment to her confused 15-year-old daughter, who's trying to deal with her own sexual awakening and not having an easy time of it. Based on a novel by Patty Dann.

Fifteen-year-old Charlotte Flax (Winona Ryder) is tired of her wacky mom (Cher) moving their family to a different town any time she feels it is necessary. When they move to a small Massachusetts town and Mrs. Flax begins dating a shopkeeper (Bob Hoskins), Charlotte and her 9-year-old sister, Kate (Christina Ricci), hope that they can finally settle down. But when Charlotte's attraction to an older man gets in the way, the family must learn to accept each other for who they truly are.

"Having made something of a specialty of woe-is-me, adolescent angst, Ryder finds a deeper level here, a level of comedy with something genuinely painful mixed in." (Washington Post)
