About
A nearsighted boy who can't become a pilot pours his love of flight into designing aircraft, and grows into one of his country's most gifted engineers during a turbulent, poverty-stricken era. As his elegant machines are drafted toward war and a tender romance shadows his career, he's caught in an impossible bind: the only way to build the beautiful things he dreams of is to build them for destruction. It's a film about the cost of pursuing a pure ideal in an impure world.
