ChaO
In a vividly colourful Shanghai of the near future, where humans and sea creatures live side by side, young engineer Stephan dreams of developing an environmentally friendly air-jet propulsion system. But his plans are threatened by his powerful employer. Unexpectedly, ChaO, the daughter of the Sea King, declares her love for Stephan and proposes to him. Stephan reluctantly agrees, seeing the marriage as a way to secure the resources he needs for his project.
The unlikely couple quickly becomes an international sensation and a symbol of a new era of coexistence between humans and merpeople. But their life together is anything but harmonious. ChaO, who initially appears as a large, accident-prone fish, has little understanding of human customs, and their cramped apartment becomes the scene of a series of comic misunderstandings and domestic disasters.
As Stephan grows increasingly impatient, ChaO disappears, forcing him to confront his feelings. What began as an arranged alliance gradually turns into something more complicated: a chance for Stephan to reconsider his ambitions and what he truly wants from life.
