Synopsis

Fifteen years ago, Joaquim Pinto and Nuno Leonel made several trips to a small port in the Azores, where they struck up a friendship with Pedro, a fisherman who started taking them out to sea. Since then, however, global industrial overfishing has brought him major problems and perils above and beyond the inherent dangers of working at sea. In Rabo de Peixe, the filmmakers return to the island to follow Pedro and his crew and chronicle their determination to remain free.
