This film includes fictional elements and illustrates the life of fishermen from Vieira Beach (Vieira de Leiria), showing aspects of their migration to the Tagus River, to calmer waters, in the middle of the century, and of the occupation of riverside areas in the Ribatejo marshes, where they built small villages on stilts, by the water’s edge.
