In a seaside village, fishermen have no catch and are starving. The bravest of them, Azmun, sets off to the land of the "sea grandfather" to help him. But the grandfather is angry because the fishermen have long since broken the agreement according to which they were supposed to throw small fish back into the sea. So Azmun is given tasks that he must complete in order to please the sea grandfather. He is helped by a magical fin and a clever girl. And Azmun promises that the fishermen will forever obey the laws of the sea and not just use it.
Directed by Věra Jordánová, Statečný Azmun leans on a strong ensemble — Jan Hrušínský, Jana Dolanská, Ladislav Křiváček — 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 fantasy titles of 1986.
