content
A woman by the name of Ilsebill and her husband Munk live in poor conditions in a small, poor hut, which they simply refer to as “Pisspott”. The roof is leaking, the windows don't close properly and the wood for the stove is damp. Ilsebill dreams of escaping this poverty. She tells her husband about it, but he doesn't want to know anything about it. To escape the debate, he goes out to sea to fish in peace.
Manntje, Manntje Timpe Te
A strange fish hits his net at sea. A big catch, a flounder, finally something to eat, something that will make Ilsebill happy. But the butt, who goes by the name of Stig, begins to speak to him. Startled, the fisherman throws him back into the water. When he told his wife about it on his return, she reproached him, because the fish had told Munk that he was the son of the king of the vanished Vineta . Stig was surprised to learn that there was a world outside of his aquatic world. Ilsebill urges her husband to go out again to ask the fish to fulfill a wish, since it had spared its life. Munk therefore calls for him, the Flounder appears and asks what “he” desires. The fisherman tells of his wife's desire for a new house and the fish tells him to return home and find everything there just as she wished. Munk notes that this is actually the case. Ilsebill is initially satisfied with it, but soon she demands more. The simple house is no longer enough for her, she demands a villa for wealth and power, ultimately up to the wish to become Pope and then God himself. She keeps sending Munk out to sea with new demands. It still doesn't make her happy. Ilsebill gradually loses her husband, who no longer understands her, and her friends through her greed and the ever increasing demands.
Parallel worlds
Still, there is a happy ending . It turns out that Stig is the son of Ilsebill and Munk, who drowned in the sea years ago and plunged the couple into deep misery. All souls of the drowned people live, according to old legends, in the sunken city of Vineta. This lies deep under the waves by an insurmountable moat of the sea goddess Rân, separated from the rest of the sea. Stig had flooded this ditch out of curiosity, although this was strictly forbidden by a directive from the king. After meeting the fisherman, Stig's desire for the truth about his fate grew and he made a pact with Rân. She gave him the gift of fulfilling Munk's wishes. She would bring him into the human world for it, if he could get Munk's heart's desire. But Munk was so influenced by Ilsebill's search for happiness and recognition that he only ever passed on her desire to Stig. Only when he realizes that everything gets worse with every wish that is fulfilled does it think of itself and express what he would wish for himself.
Rân had told Stig that a being must die, either the fish or the human. Stig had suspected that Munk was meant by man, and that the fish was himself. Frightened by this realization, he wanted to break up the pack of rân. But Rân's words referred to Stig himself. He loses his fish life, he gets his human life back. In the end everything is like it was before the accident, Stig is lying on the beach as a person near the poor hut of his real parents Ilsebill and Munk. You are poor but finally happy again.
