We Are Happy Fish

About This Movie

We Are Happy Fish brings an offbeat blend of adventure and existential dread. The film follows a disenchanted girl who escapes her family, teaming up with a robot boy on an unusual quest to resurrect a fish. The atmosphere is both whimsical and somber, with a unique visual style that often relies on practical effects rather than CGI, which adds a tangible quality to their journey. The pacing is deliberately meandering, echoing the protagonist's own sense of lost purpose. Themes of isolation and companionship come through in subtle, sometimes jarring ways. Performances are heartfelt—especially the robot boy, who balances innocence with a hint of melancholy. It's a curious blend of lightheartedness and deeper reflections on existence, making it distinctive.
