MOVIES - FICTION
OF FISH AND MEN
by Stefanie Klemm
Judith runs a small trout farm in a remote valley in the Swiss Jura mountains. The hard work demands the utmost of the single mother. Fortunately, reliable help has recently come her way in the form of Gabriel. A trusting relationship soon develops between the two, and Judith's little daughter Milla also quickly warms to Gabriel.
A sudden tragedy shatters the idyll. Desperation, grief and anger threaten to crush Judith. Her only support is her relationship with Gabriel. But she is unaware of the depth of his involvement in the tragic events.
