Synopsis
No wild-eyed visionary or savant, 53-year-old crane-driver Vladimir Pilipenko has a simple, perfectly achievable ambition: to build his own, working submersible craft. The fact that he lives in the Ukrainian Steppes--in the middle of nowhere, in fact--is of no matter; nor is the fact that he earns less than 40 dollars a month. His dream is calling. So Mr Pilipenko sells some of his pigs, and brews up some more homemade vodka, and slowly begins to amass capital--all the while, refining and perfecting his design. But will the good ship Delfin sink? And, more importantly, will it rise again afterward?
