- A 40-year-old mechanic whistles at a passing teenager; she stops and upbraids him. In embarrassment, he claims he was whistling at her companion, her 14-year-old cousin, Isabelle. This changes Isabelle's outlook on life: her favorite story is Anderson's "Little Mermaid," and she thinks that in Georges she's found her prince. She follows him, engages him in conversation, and turns up at his flat. At first, he pushes her away and tells her she's nuts, but slowly he finds that she brings out of him a playful self, and he likes her devotion. The attraction builds, threatening Georges' adult relationships, including that with Nelly, his sweetheart. Where on earth can this affair lead?—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- Isabelle falls in love=illusion with a guy that could be actually her father. She dreams of a relationship with him (teenager dreams) like in the fairy-tale (tail) The Little Mermaid. She wants to be his little mermaid. She goes to find him at his work-place where his colleagues and friends are wondering about this young visitor. He feels shy about it and asks her not to come to this place anymore. She agrees under the condition that IF he wants to see her (the little mermaid) again, he might make a cross-sign at the letter-box of her home's gate. But he never does that of course. Thus after a while she follows her fairy-prince again when he has a grooming date with one of his friends female contacts at a restaurant: She stands there at the big window on the street and holds a chalk in her hand to remind him making the cross. But this woman becomes suspicious: Do you know this girl? So he shies away so that she thinks he must have some hebephilia issues. And she breaks up with him. That is a big win for that girl. Still he hesitates to fulfill her wish (make the X) because he does not want to connect with her (social issues) But one day when he passes by her house, he does it (just for her satisfaction) and leaves for a weekend-trip with his friends. He thought: If she comes to his home then she will wait for a while and go back to her place but she didn't. She waited for him until Sunday evening. He found her sleeping at the stairwell in-front of his door. This touched his heart so that he needed to kiss & hug her and he invited her in. She assured him that her parents (carer) know where she is and that she is in touch with them. His friends wanted to make another trip with him but surprisingly they found her there and needed to accept her participation. But during that trip many things went wrong as she tested him against his friends. He was then always favoring her wishes. The friends didn't want to make another trip with him when she is part of it. But they still came to visit him at his flat to play cards. They wondered already about the changed living-style that she made up in the apartment like a carnival setting. She then wanted to play as well but changed the rules so that they can win against his friends. The friends became so upset and left with a warning: You better watch out what you are doing wrong here! You should not engage with a girl in her age! Thus they left and he lost his friends as well. Now isolated he was just with her. That's what was her aim to have him just for her. They did another trip to the sea but there her teenage attitude showed a conflict with his mentality. But out of love he still gave in to her will. But one day, he read the newspaper and saw a note that a girl was missing. It was her and he went crazy and became even violent - realizing the danger he was in now. He kicked her out and nailed his door while she had to go for treatment in hospital. But she never revealed to anybody her secret with him.
