Overview
A group of young friends and neighbours come together for a fishing expedition after rumours spread of a giant carp in the area. In a world of broken families, cassette tapes and rumbling political fever, these friends, each with their own struggles to bear, share a moment of harmony.
I don’t mind a slow-moving drama but this one seemed to move in real time. There was a mildly interesting story in there and a decent ending but it really dragged along.
