Synopsis

The fisherman feels bad for the golden, speaking fish that he caught and releases him. The fish offers a free wish to the good-hearted man. The man asks for a boat, but his wife is not happy with it and asks for a house. Driven by the wife’s greed, the fisher asks for more and more. But one day, all the wealth is gone… Based on a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
