Publisher Marketing: I don't mean to be rude but, sorry to say, you defecate on us, you urinate on us, you dump your toxic garbage on us, you even spill your god damn oil on us. - AQUARIS "Don't Mess With The Mermaids!" is a romantic story about love between two people of different cultures and worlds, mixed with a battle against local Mafia and bearing a clear environmental message. Three girls, refugees from North Africa, are to be sold to a whorehouse as sex slaves by terrorists, human traffickers, Mochta and Ahmed. Next to Sardinia's coast the policeman Riccardo tries to save the girls. Under unknown circumstances Riccardo is forced to let go of Valeria's hand and she slips into the deep waters. But she is saved by the mermaids Coralia and child mermaid Krystalia. Childless Aquaris, the king of the UK (Underwater Kingdom) decides to adopt her and rename her after him, Aquaria. So Aquaria becomes the first mermaid in the world, who wasn't born in the bosom of water but has taken mermaid values of life. The whole time Aquaria thinks about the handsome policeman but Riccardo appears to be happily engaged to Marta, who is the mayor of the city. The local people call her "The Sea Witch!" or "The Mother." Only the naive and honest Riccardo doesn't know the truth about her... When the new factory without a proper waste system starts to operate, polluting the sea, Aquaria tries to protect her new home. But it is not an easy task to fight against the local Mafia, which is run by "The Mother..".
