About Fischer fischt Frau
All is no longer right with the world in East Frisia. The weatherproof crab fishermen who take their boats out into the North Sea every night are fighting for survival. In these times of globalization, the North Sea crabs travel thousands of kilometers to Morocco, where they are caught cheaply before being served up again in Germany.
Directed by Lars Jessen, Fischer fischt Frau leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Heinrich Brix, Sanaa Alaoui, Bjarne Mädel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2012.
