Fish Can't Fly

Synopsis

On the window ledge of a high-rise block of flats by the sea, a suicidal pet fish knocks his fish tank towards a fatal drop. A middle-aged man endeavours to save the fish by running up to the flat, whilst a growing crowd of passers by on the ground gather containers of water in which to catch the fish. Will anyone manage to save the fish and turn his seeming suicide attempt into a successful rescue effort instead?
