The Fish
Norwegian title: Fisken
Kurt is a fork truck driver. Every day he drives his truck down at the docks, and he lifts boxes weighing more than a thousand kilos. Besides, Kurt has a moustache, a lovely wife and three weird children. One day Kurt finds something strange on the peer. Something he has never seen before in his entire life. A giant fish! He brings it home on his truck, and together he and his family travel around the world eating from the fish.
