Arizona Dream

An Innuit hunter races his sled home with a fresh-caught halibut. This fish pervades the entire film in real and imaginary form. Meanwhile Axel tags fish in New York as a naturalist's gofer. He's happy there but a messenger arrives to bring him to Arizona for his uncle's wedding. It's a ruse to get Axel into the family business. In Arizona Axel meets two odd women: vivacious needy and plagued by neuroses and familial discord. He gets romantically involved with one while the other rich but depressed plays accordion tunes to a gaggle of pet turtles
