The stop-motion animated film ICHTHYS (Fish), touches the eternal issue of human fate, hope, waiting and fullfilment. This film as usually in Skrobecki- work is marked with perfect even meticulous realization, expressive animation, suggestive visual effects and extraordinary situation.
A parable about hope, a middle-aged man in a gothic restaurant waits a lifetime for the cherubic waiter to serve his meal. The waiter takes the order and leaves. The client waits for his return... Time goes by making everything grow old. When finally, the ever-young waiter appears with ordered meal, the client looks like he is dead...

Marek Skrobecki, born 1951 in Kalisz, Poland is a film director, especially in classic puppet animation. He made his first film, a cartoon called The Episode, in 1988, and later worked on cartoons for children, but it was only when he made D.I.M. in 1992 at Se-Ma-For that he found his unique gift for animating human size puppets.
