In a coastal village where the sea gives and takes in equal measure, Peixinho follows the story of one young man defying the tide of generational fear and disconnection. Once unable to swim himself, he now teaches local children how to float, dive, and reclaim their relationship with the ocean — not as something to be feared, but as something to be understood and protected. As he inspires the next generation with water safety and ocean literacy, he also works with elders in his community to encourage more sustainable fishing practices, bridging science and tradition with humility and hope.
