Kiss
the Fish

The winds of change are sweeping the sleepy island of Karukam. A new resort promises a brighter future for all until fate puts the hopes of the community in the hands of Sidu – the village idiot!

Feel the hot breath of a wild monkey on your neck and “songs that make you tingle” Nelson Mail.

Hilarious, heartfelt and inspired by incredible true events this is a “comic love story of epic proportions.” NZ Herald
