His only connections with aviation are the medical checkups, which are more and more difficult to pass during the last years. From time to time he goes to the airfield to wipe the snow out of the airplane. Throughout the winter he has too much time to put his imagination to work and it ends up with many crazy ideas. He transforms himself into an aeronautical engineer. We see him manufacturing parts for his beloved "Rebel", the ultralight plane he shares with his friend and financial supporter Victor Mavrodineanu, on a lathe at his buddy's garage in the neighborhood. Several years ago, after a small unpleasant accident, Mami completely rebuilt the plane in a barn from a remote Moldavian village, with the help of a friend who worked in a plane factory. And the "Rebel" was born again. (HBO Europe)
