In Zoey Martinson’s Venice Film Festival-winning feast of magical realist comedy—expanded from her short—aging Ghanaian Atta Oko sets his sights on finally having his own boat and becoming the envy of his village. He’ll just need help from a talking dead fish first.

THE FISHERMAN is a heartwarming comedy about Atta Oko—a retired traditional fisherman from Ghana—whose life takes a whimsical turn when he is forced into retirement. Partnered with a modern, bougie-talking fish, leading him on an adventure to Accra, and joined by three quirky associates, they pursue their dream of owning a boat while navigating the chaos of the modern world. Filled with laughter, magic, and the vibrant culture of Ghana, this film is a delightful tale of family, dreams, and the enduring spirit of a true fisherman.
