Imigrantes do Mar

Story

Synopsis

About 500 immigrants from Indonesia are guarding the fishing fleet in the fishing village of Caxinas (Vila do Conde). Without these immigrants, most boats would not go to sea and the local economy paralyzed. The film recounts the difficult life on the high seas and his experiences. They are supportive men and give a lesson in life and citizenship. Not only do they send money to families, but they help orphaned children in their country to have their dignity back. In times of xenophobia and racism, they are the ones who help the development of the country where they now reside.
