Belov: A Life at Sea is the first biographical documentary film about the greatest Brazilian sailor by miles traveled; the 82 year-old war immigrant who spent, in total, ten years at sea, visiting the most remote corners of the planet and becoming a living testimony to man’s capabilities. Setting sail from Salvador - Bahia - Brazil, Capital of the Blue Amazon, the Ukrainian Brazilian personality Aleixo Belov has already circumnavigated the globe five times, three of them alone, aboard a little sailboat built in his own backyard.
