Aquamarine had washed ashore after a big storm battered the small town Florida beach club where Claire lives with her grandparents. Claire and Hailey are trying to come to terms with Hailey?s impending departure: She?s moving to Australia with her marine biologist mother after this last weekend of the summer.
The beautiful, blue-haired, 18-year-old mermaid swam away from home just before her arranged marriage, in search of real love. If she can prove to her father that love is not a myth, he?ll let her out of the underwater wedding, but he?s only giving her three days. Aqua enlists the help of Claire and Hailey, who are self-styled relationship experts?educated from the pages of magazines that they read and quote daily.
"Aquamarine" tells a story of love and friendship, along with a lesson about life and selflessness. The film is based on the novel by Alice Hoffman, whose other books "Practical Magic" and "Here on Earth" have also been made into movies.
