SYNOPSIS – Let’s lend an ear and listen to the movie synopsis.
“MY FAIRY TAIL LOVE STORY” – is a twist to the usual fairy tale romance.
In our story, Chantel is a spoiled brat who did not heed warnings against disturbing a coral formation under the sea.
Because of this, she wakes up discovering she has been turned into a mermaid. With the help of her best friend Noah, Chantel tries to break the curse, thinking that the answer lies in that most magical of solutions: true love’s kiss from a Prince Charming.
Chantel pursues DJ Ethan, a self-proclaimed “Prince of Electronic Dance Music,” much to the chagrin of Noah. But even as Ethan and Chantel supposedly find love, and even as Noah finds the courage to profess his true feelings for Chantel, our cursed heroine soon discovers that love is not as simple as fairy tales make it out to be.
