He was bigger than life, his ambitions to manufacture electricity in the Middle East bordering in fantasy, but now Rutenberg, the fearless Russian Engineer must face his own fatal miscalculations and cope with the flood ruthlessly threatening to destroy his new plant. This is Friday, February, 1932, and the rain begins to fall.
This is the story of Pinchas Rutenberg who was the first to manufacture electricity in the Middle East, and has established the electric plants in Israel.
