Just as he does every year, sixty-something Gerrie flies from sunny Portugal for a three-day visit to the Netherlands, the drab country of his birth. He has his usual errands to run, and he visits his doctor for an annual check-up, accompanied by his eccentric grown-up son Dick. 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.

“I didn't want viewers to see Gerrie as a jerk and Dick as an idiot. I wanted to create a sort of empathy and emotion for the abrasive father-son relationship they have. You can find them odd characters at first, but as the story progresses, you should embrace them in your heart.” (Peter Hoogendoorn)
