[edit] Plot Overview
Rufa Mae Quinto plays a trio of quirky sisters who haven't seen each other since the day they were born. Dolphina (a naive mermaid) braves the surface to find her two sisters, Marie (an impoverished student) and Aira (a spoiled celebrity), who are both born with legs instead of fins. Her goal is compromised, however, when she gets captured and made the star attraction of a local fair. While captured, she befriends and falls for her handsome caretaker, Felipe (played by Alfred Vargas), which stirs the jealousy of Tara (played by Gladys Reyes), the "human spider." Melanie Marquez also stars as the evil sorceress, Zadama.
