In the Netherlands, a large percentage of the population participates in fishing, with nearly two million people fishing at least once a year. The documentary *V.I.S.S.E.N* (FISHING) explores the world of Dutch fishing and the people who practice it. From waterways and coastlines to urban canals and lakes, the film examines fishing as a reflection of the Netherlands. It delves into the motivations of fishermen: are they pursuing a hobby, sport, escape, or something deeper? The film considers the thoughts and feelings experienced while fishing – during a catch, a blank day, and even from the fish's perspective when hooked.
