Heretic has acquired World Sales rights to Peter Hoogendoorn’s drama “Three Days of Fish,” which is set to screen first in the Main Competition for the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. After breaking into Venice Days with his first feature “Between 10 and 12,” Peter Hoogendoorn continues with an intimate tale that discreetly balances drama and comedy in its exploration of the complex relationship of a father and son.

Three Days of Fish centres on 65-year-old Gerrie who lives abroad with his second wife and 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. The title is a reference to the proverb that familial peace is best kept with short visits.

Three Days Of Fish is produced by Stienette Bosklopper of Amsterdam-based Circe Films with Maarten Swart of Dutch production studio Kaap Holland Film and co-produced by Dries Phlypo of Belgian production company A Private View and Marina Blok from national broadcaster NTR.
