Here's the plot summary for the movie "Mermaids": In this heartwarming comedy-drama, 15-year-old Charlotte Flax (Winona Ryder) is at her wit's end with her eccentric mother Rae (Cher), who has a habit of uprooting their family and moving to a new town whenever she feels like it. When they settle in a small Massachusetts town, Rae decides that this is the perfect place for them to put down roots - or so she thinks. As Charlotte tries to navigate her way through high school and adjust to her new surroundings, she finds herself struggling to connect with her mother's free-spirited nature. Meanwhile, her older sister Alison (Christina Ricci) is a precocious and manipulative 10-year-old who often takes advantage of their mother's good-hearted naivety. As the Flax family settles into their new home, they meet a cast of quirky characters, including a gruff but lovable local priest (Bob Hoskins), who becomes a source of wisdom and guidance for Charlotte. As Rae's antics continue to wreak havoc on their lives, Charlotte begins to question her mother's motivations and starts to assert her own identity. As the story unfolds, "Mermaids" explores themes of family, love, and self-discovery, all set against the backdrop of a small-town American community in the 1960s. With its strong performances, witty dialogue, and nostalgic charm, this film is a delightful portrayal of mother-daughter relationships and the challenges of growing up.
