On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos.

The filmmakers landed somewhere between “Bicentennial Man” (whose boxy robot shell was kind of a deal-breaker) and the fish man in “The Shape of Water” (far from human, but blessed with nice abs and a limited vocabulary).
