Relations among a group of friends spending time at a vacation cottage are strained by new internal dynamics: Elias, who used to date Roosa, is now dating Mariaana. As the heartbroken Roosa and protective Ida attempt to restrain their barely contained hurt and disapproval, Mariaana remains stubbornly unapologetic. In the course of their time at the cottage Elias goes missing, Mariaana begins to exhibit odd behavior, dreams and reality blur, and Ida and Roosa stumble into a fable-like nightmare. Dead Fish is a surreal social drama that reinterprets Nordic folklore and mythology.
