While living abroad with his second wife, 65-year-old Gerrie returns to Rotterdam for his annual health check-ups. There, he meets with his son, 45-year-old Dick, who yearns for quality time that his father stubbornly avoids. Calling upon the titular proverb that familial peace is best kept with short visits, "Three Days of Fish" is a dry-witted chronicle of a father and son as they unravel a remarkable but complex connection. During their brief time together, Gerrie and Dick's whimsical but combustible communication comes in unspoken efforts for affection, ultimately offering a glimpse into the dynamics of an intricate bond between two socially inept men, constantly "fishing" for each other's love.
