Two friends fish together on the lake. Every day they are feverishly waiting for the string to shrug for the first time. When one of the two has a wish after a strange catch, both get into an unstoppable whirlpool of ever greater desires - one wish chases the next. But suddenly their friendship is in danger, and the two are faced with an important decision.

With wind, video and high waves, the United Puppets tell the history of friends Ilse and Bill and explore the interior of the turbulent desired spiral of the "bigger, faster, more".
