A boy’s insistence on wearing a Little Mermaid Costume at a school play forces his parents to confront their inherent fears of prejudice and the true meaning of unconditional love. 

9-year old Blu finds joy wearing his hair long and dressing as a girl. His progressive parents Lucio and Elena support his inclinations, but keep this act private within the sanctity of their home. When Blu insists on wearing a Little Mermaid Costume at his school play, Lucio and Elena realise they are not ready to indulge their son’s preferences publicly and turn to a psychologist (played by director Andreozzi herself) who guides them on a journey of acceptance that challenges the depth of their convictions. 

Steeped in sharp wit and poignant humor, this bittersweet comedy explores the tension between parental protection and a child's freedom of expression, questioning society’s readiness to embrace the "unicorns" in our midst.
