Fish n´Cigs

Wie Luft zum Atmen

Germany / Fiction / 00:07:21 min

Emil lives with his nicotine-addicted mother in a small apartment. He spends most of his days in front of the television and only leaves the house when his mother sends him to the kiosk to buy new cigarettes. Emil's life changes abruptly when the kiosk owner puts him in charge of a fish. In the fish, Emil not only finds a best friend and confidant, but also increasingly distances himself from his mother, who continuously poses a growing threat to the unusual friendship.
