The Fisherman is a heartwarming comedy about Atta Oko, a retired traditional fisherman from Ghana. His life takes a whimsical turn when he is forced into retirement  and partnered with a sarcastic talking fish, leading him on an adventure to Accra. Joined by his three quirky "Associates," they pursue their dream of owning a boat. Filled with laughter, magic, and the vibrant culture of Ghana, The Fisherman is a delightful tale of family, dreams, and the enduring spirit of a true fisherman.
