If Bassinger's character is unhappy, then it must be the husbands fault! No that is too easy. We are never told why Kim strays,only that she is "unhappy." Apparently we are supposed to allow her the benefit of the doubt. The author prefers to call it "travelling" in an effort to take our mind of the clichés that are falling fast and furious. A handsome monk soon shows up and we all know where this is going to lead! From what Kim has told us and from other hints we know she is "searching" for herself.
The music lets us know that this is going to be one of those "intelligent" stories, with deep undertones, and unexplained behavior that we are supposed to wait for the story to explain as it unfolds. Bassinger's voice over fills us in on all the necessary details of her childhood, the local mermaid story, and her frustration with her mother's behavior. There is the usual assortment for a chick flick a wise Black woman a "mentally challenged" but "intuitive" girl and her tough, but lovable mother, who runs the local tourist Kitsch store. Kim meets up again with her old women friends. The religious myth guiding the monks is about a Mermaid who saves the island, and the monks seem to spend their time sewing fishing nets for the local industry. The home is on an island, presumably off the Northwest coast, which houses a fishing village, and a monastery.
Kim Bassinger plays a woman married to Psychiatrist Bruce Greenwood, who goes back to her childhood home to find out why her mother deliberately severed a finger.
