Story
Goodbye, Lara draws inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid. The story centers on a mermaid who makes a forbidden wish to be loved by a human. After her death, she is reborn 200 years later in modern-day Japan at Lake Biwa, where she must learn to navigate life in the human world. Lake Biwa is located in Shiga Prefecture — the hometown of director Takushi Koide.
