The war had a big influence on the personality of the main character. He had had an unsuccessful marriage; he was bored with his wife, who was only interested in fashionable clothes. He found a soul mate in the face of a little girl and told her a fictional story about a fish.
He was so lonely and sad that even in a conversation with a girl he met, he referred to his wife as his aunt. The finale of the story is shocking.
