Synopsis
In 1930, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Louis Garrel, The Three Musketeers - Milady, AF FFF24), a pilot for Aéropostale, flies too high over Argentina's Andes, crashing into the sea. To his best friend, Henri Guillaumet (Vincent Cassel, The Three Musketeers - Part I & II, AF FFF24), he's just Saint-Ex, getting into trouble again. After being demoted by Aéropostale, which is also planning to lay off half of its radio operators – including Henri’s wife, Noëlle (Diane Kruger) – the two hatch a daring plan to save the business.
But when Henri goes missing over the Cordillera, Argentina's enormous mountain range, will Saint-Ex defy all odds to bring him back?
