There is panic in a small seaside town as reports of a "sea devil" are terrifying the local fishermen. No one has seen him up close, but a beautiful girl named Gutiere meets and falls in love with the so-called devil, who turns out to be an amphibian man whose element is the sea. By falling in love with Gutiere, who is forced to marry the treacherous Zurita, he is subjecting his life to a deadly risk. This romantic melodrama, based on Alexander Belyaev's novel, was a box-office smash in the USSR in 1961. (Image Entertainment)

The Russians show that not only political films were their domain. This is an incredibly beautiful sci-fi that enchants with its visual aspect, but also with a touching story that is timeless in this regard. There are not as many fantastic elements, but the way the plot is presented is absolutely sufficient. The setting in the Spanish environment is a bit curious, but it stems from the source material.
