International fishing companies have been causing serious problems in Rabo de Peixe, a small island in the Azores whose economy is based on small-scale fishing. The new type of fishing, dictated by huge corporations, plunges Pedro, a young fisherman, into a professional crisis whose dangers surpass those of working at sea. Filmed between 1999 and 2001, the film follows Pedro and his team over the course of one year on a journey that is crucial for him to maintain his freedom. By the director of What Now?
