Nymphs – Season 1
Full moon rises above the small town and Didi makes love to her boyfriend for the first time. As a result, the young man dies. The next morning Didi meets two women, intriguing and strong, Cathy and Nadia. They tell her that she is a nymph and she has to learn new rules quickly, as well as leave her family and friends behind her. Cathy and Nadia are the nymphs who have escaped from the tyranny of the satyrs to live on their own among ordinary mortals. They believe that Didi is the fabled nymph who, according to legend, will lead the other nymphs to their freedom. Things don’t get any easier when the new deadly nymph Didi begins a mad, forbidden love affair with an ordinary mortal, Samuel. Like in the ancient tragedies, nothing good ever comes out of a relationship between divine beings and mortals...
