      Oslava sesterstva, rodiny a sily lásky v obľúbenom filmovom príbehu. Keď sestry Sally a Gillian Owensové osirejú, ujmú sa ich excentrické tety z Massachusetts. Dievčatá postupne odhaľujú, aké tajomné, ba desivé schopnosti majú ich tety. Keď sa rovnaké magické nadanie začne prejavovať aj u sestier, rozhodnú sa od tiet ujsť a začleniť sa do „normálnej“ spoločnosti. Minulosť plná mágie ich však dobehne. A keď nastanú problémy, musia sa tri generácie žien z rodu Owensovcov nielen spojiť, ale aj prijať svoju mágiu ako dar – a kľúč k budúcnosti plnej lásky a vášne.

      Coralie Sardie is the daughter of the sinister impresario behind The Museum of Extraordinary Things, a Coney Island boardwalk freak show that thrills the masses. An exceptional swimmer, Coralie appears as the Mermaid in her father’s “museum,” alongside performers like the Wolfman, the Butterfly Girl, and a one-hundred-year-old turtle. One night Coralie stumbles upon a striking young man taking pictures of moonlit trees in the woods off the Hudson River. The dashing photographer is Eddie Cohen, a Russian immigrant who has run away from his father’s Lower East Side Orthodox community and his job as a tailor’s apprentice. When Eddie photographs the devastation on the streets of New York following the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, he becomes embroiled in the suspicious mystery behind a young woman’s disappearance and ignites the heart of Coralie.
