Recognised by his peers as a pioneering aviator, a hero of the French airmail service and a great writer rewarded by prestigious literary awards, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry acquired a worldwide recognition with The Little Prince, which has become one of the best-selling books ever written. This film seeks to understand what kind of man and hero Saint-Exupéry really was by exploring the tale of his life, his destiny and his adventures in Paris, New York and South America. We will learn about the writer-explorer’s world, a world which could be described as both masculine, full of adventures and camaraderie, and a world rooted in his childhood, full of dreams, fantasy but also of inconsolable drama.
