It's set in the titular village of Rabo de Peixe, and centres on four friends who are eking out their uneventful and unpromising lives in the picturesque but remote archipelago (the islands are about 1,000 miles out in the Atlantic from the Portuguese mainland). The show extracts full value from its locations, with scintillating low-flying shots of rugged cliffs, turbulent waves crashing on the shore and verdant mountains climbing into the distance under huge, wide skies. However, claustrophobic village life revolves around a few shops, bars and narrow streets, and it's no wonder that Eduardo (José Condessa) yearns to escape to the USA and build a new life.
