Mermaids

Charlotte (Winona Ryder) is embarrassed with her mother and wants to be everything her mother isn't - pious, proper, humble, and pure. Her good intentions are constantly in conflict with her basic nature, which is more like her mothers. Charlotte develops a crush on Joe, the caretaker at a nearby convent. Soon her mother too finds herself attracted to Joe. With competition for his affection to add fuel to the fire between Mrs. Flax and Charlotte, the only thing they can seem to agree on is caring for Katie, Charlotte's (Winona Ryder) little sister.
