In presence of Louis Garrel (actor) and Pablo Agüero (director), Friday November 8.
Argentina, 1930. When Henri Guillaumet, Aéropostale's top pilot, disappears in the Andes, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry sets out to find him, his heart full of hope. A dreamlike adventure.
“All great people were once children, but few of them remember”, wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince. This is undoubtedly the personality trait that most fascinated Argentine director Pablo Agüero when he sketched the portrait of the dreamy, carefree pilot. Freely inspired by an episode from the famous author's life, the film retraces Saint-Exupéry's quest to find his aviator friend lost in the Andes mountains. Playing the title role with finesse and mischief, Louis Garrel stars alongside Diane Kruger and Vincent Cassel in a thrilling human adventure reminiscent of the French writer's dreamlike texts. An exotic, poetic journey beyond the clouds.
