I saw the film today, in a version digitized to 4K, for the first time. It is a very interesting documentary for anyone who knows the history of Portugal in cod fishing, carried out by the Portuguese in the North Atlantic. The film portrays four months on board a ship with forty-eight men, eager to catch a thousand tons of fish and return home. It is a documentary but with some fictional parts, remembering the Portuguese presence at sea, but also the problems, emotions, joys and sadness of these men. Some of the characters are simply fabulous, especially the cook José Cid - a grump and with a unique sense of humor. I really liked this film.
