at the beginning of 2000 I watched on TV a color film whose title I am looking for. In the film, the main character is something like an inventor who constantly dismantles all sorts of machines and mechanisms for parts. He and his friend drive a car (very bad) and freeze in the cabin because the air conditioner is mercilessly cold, they fall into a pit (rainstorm) full of all kinds of mechanisms (dump) where the main character finds a plate (this is a UFO cap). He sculpts this torch from an incredible material that cannot be damaged. But the film is not about mechanisms, but about his romantic relationship with a woman. one more scene a conversation between two characters in a room – the main character disassembles a typewriter and throws spare parts into two heaps behind him. That’s all I remember.
Maybe “Chairman of the Board”?

thanks, an interesting film but not what I’m looking for
