The ocean doesn’t like it when you snatch away what belongs to it. Can’t you hear the
ocean? It’s furious.

A family gather for drinks on the beach ignoring weather warnings about an impending tsunami. Suddenly, a huge wave washes up a mermaid. She speaks in Quechua, a language they don’t understand.
