Cast              Pedro Moniz and fishermen of Rabo de Peixe

The small village Rabu di Pesce, as the characters of the film used to say_ an island on the island. The film is a small story about fisherman, an overall picture of their life with its difficulties and achievements, pleasant and difficult moments. Global industrial overfishing has caused significant problems in the village of Rabo de Pesce in the Azores, where small-scale fishing has long provided a livelihood. This situation plunges Pedro, a young master fisherman, with a crisis in his professional life, over and above the inherent dangers of working at sea. Shot between 1999 and 2001, the film follows Pedro and his crew over a full year, chronicling their determination to remain free. We recommend you to sure this movie. The film is about the best human qualities: bravery, hard work and dedication. It shows the ordinary life, it teaches to consider any little thing  as an important phenomenon, as one small fishing rod can catch large swordfish. Characters in the film are great guys who have spent their entire lives in the same settlement since childhood, studied fishing and can not imagine their life without it. It is difficult to live, each voyage for them may end up in the raging waves of the sea. But they find the strength to live to fight and to be happy.
