How do you catch a carp? By staying quiet and being patient, or so a child believes. But bringing along a playful puppy turns out to be a big mistake. Together with a frog, fly, cow and duck, the little dog stirs up such a commotion that fishing becomes impossible. Brought to life with picture-book-like watercolour aesthetics, the outing becomes a lively nature adventure, ending in an unlikely friendship that connects creatures across land and water.
