World War I - After an intense air battle British pilot James Mannock crash lands into the Ocean only to be saved by the mysterious nymph Lorelei, or so he thinks. Pulled between two realities and the question is, which one is real? Is Lorelei a desperate escape into the world of his imagination or is she a memory that no one but James will believe ever happened?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely on Guernsey, the same waters where real WWI pilots crashed during Channel patrols.
The siren myth here inverts tradition—Lorelei doesn't lure men to death but constructs a fantasy of life, making the 'escape' itself the tragedy.
