In this movie the actors and the director experiment on their sexual fantasies but it is not pornographic at all! The mermaid is sitting on the director and the auk is the symbol for the woman of the bird who walks as a man but cannot fly and swims like a fish. The woman at the start of the movie collects all sorts of auks! Plastic ones, tall ones and short ones. The title of the movie suggests the special smell of fish which makes that the principal actor Geert Six can make love. He cannot have sex without the smell of fish. So he seduces his big love Gail Verhasselt (a beautiful girl by the way) in the environment of a fish-shop. When she revolts and refuses his advances, he is unhappy and leaves for Morocco. The other woman will appear (Els) at the beach in the form of mermaid: so half fish and half human. So the woman prefers an auk to a man and the man prefers a mermaid to a real woman. The movie is very straight in its sexual language but this comes over natural while it is well done by the actors. Some shopkeepers (a butcher f.i or a barkeeper) give the movie its freshness by their idiotic observations.
