A Couple of Fish

Veronika Tůmová / Czech Republic / 2024 / World Premiere / 9 min.


synopsis

A room full of bubbling aquariums. Hundreds of fish with only glass separating them from people. The film is a probe into the lives of a married couple of aquarists who have dedicated their lives to fish and to each other. Aquaristics as a job that never ends. In my film, I observe how an aquarium exchange works, where fish are bought and sold, and I think about how deep a relationship can be with both fish and another person.

biography

I was born in Prague. Thanks to repeated participation in the competition Do you have an artistic gut?, I got into audiovisual and after not finishing my studies in journalism at Charles University I am currently studying documentary filmmaking at FAMU.
