Description:
Part science fiction, part fantasy, and part romance, Amphibian Man, based on the 1928 Aleksandr Beliaev novel of the same name, is the story of Ikhtiandr's (Vladimir Korenev) search for love and acceptance on land. In an exotic and beautiful unspecified Latin American locale (Buenos Aires, Argentina in the novel), townspeople live in fear of an exotic creature, "the sea devil." In reality, this "sea devil" is the kindly Ikhthiandr, whose father, Dr. Sal'vator (Nikolai Simonov), replaced his lungs with shark's gills in a lifesaving operation in his childhood. Although Dr. Sal'vator dreams of a utopian underwater republic where his son can thrive, Ikhthiandr has his sights set on a different prize: the beautiful Guttiere (Anastasiia Vertinskaia), whom he rescued from a shark attack when she fled from an unwanted suitor. Feeling stifled by loneliness and the solitary existence of life under the sea, Ikhthiandr sets out to find her, against his father's wishes. Along the way, he encounters not only her greedy and jealous fiancé, Pedro Zurita (Mikhail Kozakov), but also the cruel realities of the world outside of his sheltered underwater existence.
