The portrait shows everyday life in the Portuguese fishing village of Sesimbra, south of Lisbon, at the time of Salazar's dictatorship in 1964. Mau's photos, e.g. fish spread out in geometric patterns, and Fichte's commentary support each other. But the word 'commentary' is misleading and does not adequately describe the poetic, reportage-like text.
