The Mother and the Sea
Overview:
Following a real lost myth, in Vila Chã, we search for the sea women called "fisherwomen" in one of the few places in the world where women are skippers. But where are they and the 120 small-scale fishing boats? There are just 8 boats and a single fisherwoman. In a land of brave seamen, we have filmed the passion for the sea and the passion for fishing. - Doclisboa
