As a result of an accident, the main character lost part of his left arm. However, the injury that caused this loss gave him incredible vitality and allowed him to reach a new level of understanding about human goals and purpose.
"Attractor" is a film about a man who creates and about the central aspect of his life - a business that has acquired state significance today. The hero of the film, Dmitry Kalinin, creates something that provides a boost of creative energy to many; he brings to life the boldest ideas and dreams of young engineers, inventors, and craftsmen.
To create prosthetic devices, sophisticated equipment, and qualified personnel are needed. Thus, the first workshop equipped with CNC machines and engineers appeared in a village. Dmitry began to search for enthusiasts with interesting ideas all over the country and invited them to his village, providing them with support.
With a decent standard of living, they built a hotel, a workshop, and provided materials for testing prototypes. In addition to the main storyline in the film, which reveals the character's personality and life principles, there are several secondary storylines that develop. These include monitoring the development of existing projects in the field of electric transport, creating a prototype of a manned multi-rotor aero taxi, sound monitoring, and the process of building the most important infrastructure and research hub.
Each engineer in the team has an outstanding personality and claims to have their own separate film, but they are all united by the main character - a bright and multifaceted man with unique vitality. This is a motivational film about perseverance, overcoming obstacles, success, and creating your own significant business.
