Bind Me Tighter Still follows mother and daughter mermaids who flee back to the ocean after the mother gives up her legs to be with her first love. Arriving at a seaside attraction known as Sireland, the mother makes a living by performing sensual siren performances that become famous across the country. But when the daughter comes of age and a shocking death rocks Sirenland, the two must reckon with the cost of performance on their already tenuous bond. Lara Ehrlich has crafted an inventive and wonderfully rageful look into motherhood, femininity, and sacrifice—a perfect reimagining of The Little Mermaid for the modern age.
