A Mãe E O Mar
The Mother And The Sea
In the quest for a real and lost myth in the beach of Vila Chã (Portugal), we look for the sea women, the so-called fisherwomen, in one of the few places in the world with female skippers. But where are they now? And where are the 120 artisanal fishing boats? Merely 9 boats remain and one only fisherwoman. In the land of brave seafarers, we shot the love for fishing, the love for the sea. "A Mãe e O Mar" won the award for best feature film at doclisboa 2013 and was exhibited at MoMA.
