Description

 PLOT:


An Innuit hunter races his sled home with a fresh-caught halibut.

This fish pervades the entire film, in real and imaginary form.

Meanwhile, Axel tags fish in New York as a naturalist's gofer.

He's happy there, but a messenger arrives to bring him to Arizona

for his uncle's wedding. It's a ruse to get Axel into the family

business. In Arizona, Axel meets two odd women. vivacious, needy,

and plagued by neuroses and familial discord. He gets romantically

involved with one, while the other, rich but depressed,

plays accordion tunes to a gaggle of pet turtles.
