ABOUT/vsebina:
THIS DOCUMENTARY TELLS THE STORY OF A FIERY PERSONALITY, WILLING TO BE THE FIRST EVERYWHERE, THE WINNER OF THE CYCLING RACE, FLYING THE PLANE OR CHASING THE GIRLS AT ANY PRICE. THIS IS ALSO THE STORY ABOUT TWO BROTHERS, WHO FIRST FLEW WITH THEIR OWN AIRPLANE IN NOVEMBER 1909. THOSE WERE THE TIMES OF THE INITIAL AND HESITATING AIR JUMPS, NOT AT ALL FLIGHTS. EDVARD'S BROTHER JOSIP CALLED HIS ATTENTION TO THE DEFICIENCIES OF THE PLANE'S STRUCTURE. JOSIP ALWAYS HELPED EDVARD UNSELFISHLY AS ANALYSER, CONSTRUCTOR, MECHANIC, STAYING IN EDVARD'S SHADOW. JUST BEFORE INTERNATIONAL SUCCESS, IN A VERY INAPPROPRIATE MOMENT, EDVARD'S CHARACTER TURNED JOSIP AWAY FROM HIS BROTHER FOREVER. AT THAT TIME THE PATENT FOR THE AIRPLANE COULD ONLY BE OBTAINED BY THE MILITARY INDUSTRY, THUS ACHIEVING THE ADVANTAGE OF ARMAMENTS IN TURBULENT CIRCUMSTANCES JUST BEFORE THE 1ST WORLD WAR. THIS IS A THRILLING, INVESTIGATIVE, STEADFAST AND DETECTIVE STUDY DEPARTING FROM THE TRAGIC END.
"RUSJAN CONTROLLED THE AIRPLANE WITH HIS BODY ..., STRINGS WERE TIED TO HIS BODY ... NOWADAYS YOU CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SUCH CONTROLS ... HOW COULD HE FLY AT ALL ... MAYBE HIS NATURE KEPT HIM IN THE AIR?"
ALBIN NOVAK, 82 YEARS, RETIRED PILOT OF PASSENGER AIRPLANES
BUILDER OF THE SAME SIZE FLYING REPLICA OF RUSJAN'S AIRPLANE EDA
"THE PROPORTIONS OF THE AIRPLANE LENGTH TO THE WINGS' SPAN, PILOT'S AND ENGINE'S WEIGHT, WING PROFILES AND SHAPE, BUT ABOVE ALL THE FORM OF THE TAIL ...? HOW COULD IT FLY? WITHOUT ENGINE WORKING, THE PLANE WOULD HAVE FALLEN DOWN LIKE A STONE ... EDVARD WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO FLY AND COME BACK ALIVE!"

Zgodba o ognjenem značaju, ki hoče biti v vsaki stvari prvi, zmagovalec, pa naj bo to na kolesarski tekmi, v letenju z letali ali v letanju z dekleti in to ne glede na ceno. Zgodba o dveh bratih, ki sta že novembra leta 1909 prvič poletela z lastnim letalom v času, ko so letalski sodobniki po celem svetu delali prve, začetniške in obotavljive letalske skoke, sploh še ne polete. Zgodba o napakah narejenih pri konstrukciji letala, na kar je Edvarda že prej opozarjal brat Josip, ki mu je nesebično stal ob strani kot analitik, konstruktor, mož v senci, mehanik. In ga je zaradi svojega značaja Edvard ravno v nepravem trenutku, tik pred mednarodnim uspehom, za vedno odvrnil od sebe. Zgodba o času, ko se lahko do patenta letala dokoplje vojaška industrija in s tem dobi oborožitveno prednost v nemirnem času pred prvo svetovno vojno. Napeta, raziskovalna, značajska in detektivska študija izhajajoča iz tragičnega konca.
» Rusjan je upravljal letalo s telesom…, na telo je imel navezane vrvice… Mi si letala s takimi komandami danes sploh ne moremo zamisli…. kako je sploh lahko letel……ga je v zraku držal njegov značaj ?«
Albin NOVAK, 82 let, Upokojeni pilot potniških letal, graditelj leteče replike v naravni velikosti Rusjanovega letala EDA
»Razmerja med dolžino letala in širino kril, težo pilota in motorja, profili in obliko kril, še posebej pa obliko repa….? Kako je to sploh letelo? Če ni delal motor, je moral pasti dol kot kamen… Edvard je imel izjemno srečo, da je sploh poletel in se živ vrnil na tla!«
