A bunch of people stand around in various costumes. The person in the front has light skin, a single blue goggle on their head, and is wearing an opaque black polka-dot rain poncho. The person's hands rest on a half-circle table with a blue fabric cover and a fishbowl resting on it. The person on the other side of the table wears a navy-blue suit and a black top hat, and has a white bushy mustache and eyebrows, and light skin. The other costumed people in the background appear to be in motion.
A silver creature with an open, beak-like mouth and yellow eyes appears in profile at the forefront of the image. In the background, someone in an orange fox costume holds a serving platter. The silver creature is leaning on a table which is covered in a blue table cloth and has a golden clutch purse sitting on it.
Description

A queer musical that tells the story of a plucky Salmon forced by a lack of water to gamble her eggs to get upstream. In her struggle, she encounters a Water Nymph with a murky past in the Water Wars dealing dirty cards, a River that has lost her way, and an ancient Crocodile stuck playing host to the casino's vaudeville numbers performed by the bumbling Army Chorus of Engineers. Will the Salmon and her newfound allies rise up? Or will it all go down the drain? This film by Sarolta Vay exemplifies a commitment to social justice and to radical forms of cultural intervention.
