Description

Emilie de Rochefort (Lily) as mavka (Slavic mythology). 
In Slavic mythology, Mavka is a type of mermaids with long flaxen hair. The name Mavka derives from Nav’ (Navka), which means "the embodiment of death." Mavky (plural) do not have a full body, have no reflection in water, do not cast shadows, and have no back, and so their insides can be seen.

I always thought Mavka were the souls of restless women who died an untimely death.
