The Fisherman and His Wife Plot and Cast
Otto and Leo run a successful German business importing koi for collectors. In Japan, they encounter Ida, a German tourist studying fashion design, who begins traveling with them and becomes infatuated with the rumpled Otto rather than the handsome Leo. After Ida becomes pregnant with Otto's child, they marry. Back in Germany, she tries to join the business with a line of koi-patterned scarves, but her presence strains the partnership, leading Leo to start his own koi venture with his new bride, Yoko.
