Synopsis

Jane's days are filled with awful customers, sleazy men and endless fish in her job at the fish markets. Her nights are filled with dreams of rescuing knights in shining armour. To get through the days, she often imagines her customers as looking like the fish she scales, fillets and sells, or she dreams of being out on the boats with live and happy fish leaping about her. But this her boss would never allow, and Jane's patience is running out.
