Sara, a biochemistry professor, is recovering from divorce and slight nervous breakdown. Her boyfriend is fun, smokes a little pot, drives an ice cream truck but has a condition called 'lazy sperm.' She has invited over graduate student, Wren, and her fiancé, Mark, in a quest to get his sperm. Each of these flawed characters is trying to get what they want and maintain both their fragile love and tenuous sanity. It is both funny and sad at the same time.

Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 12/22/2021
3.5/5
As it is riddled with outrageous dialogue to highlight how egregious his characters are, it can be difficult to find your way into the technically impressive film. Go to Full Review
Bobby LePire Film Threat 12/09/2021
7.5/10
It is only an okay movie, but it'd make for a stellar play. Still, what is offered by the screenplay and cast is enough to give the title overall a hearty recommendation. Go to Full Review

05/08/2022 Worth your time! A dark indie comedy that caught me off guard. Check it out! See more clara b @RT73101145 01/12/2022 I thought this was a little gem of a movie. It had everything -- comedy, heart, unique storytelling, good acting and tons of quirk. Not your usual rom com or dramedy, which I appreciated. I noticed the writer was also the director and actor. I look forward to seeing what he does next. See more 01/09/2022 A well written script, Dark comedy, and great acting! I was drawn in and sold. This is why I love Indy films so much. The cinematography was great and my family gave me kudos for selecting a great Indy film for our weekly weekend watch! My character who stole this film was Billy. And that's all I will say except check it out. See more 01/06/2022 Great comedy! Very entertaining. Beautifully shot and great acting. PESCADOR VIDEOS See more 01/03/2022 Great indie film. Really loved it. See more 01/01/2022 Pescador Absolutely fabulous. A new genre of dark comedy was just born with this remarkable work from Writer Director Michael Erger. The most difficult element of true absurd-comedy, is to know how to work with the absurd without becoming silly. Only when it's played on a dramatic tone is when it works, and in Pescador it does work. Pescador--Spanish for Fisherman--refers to its main character brilliantly played by Michael Erger, who is at all times "fishing for" that something that might help his girlfriend come out of her psychotic depression. The well written script is about an uncomfortable--beyond awkward--proposal during a regular barbeque get together . Its superb dialogues come to life by the impeccable work of an astounding cast that delivers them with such a dramatic intensity, that allows us at the same time to also explore several themes, namely existence, survivable , loyalty, love, respect, insanity and why not, humanity's stupidity at its best. I think this movie is brilliant, the technical aspects of it are top notch, and the musical part of it are impressively well done. From the humor of the lyrics, to the quality of singers, the choreography, editing and direction. Amazing work! Kudos to everyone involved in this movie. Finally, there's a thin line between comedy and drama--where comedy is drama--and Pescador, never crosses that line but made that line thinner indeed. See more Read all reviews
