Synopsis
Antoine Brignaud (François Périer) lived through the heroic age of aviation and brought up Sébastien (Jacques Dutronc)—his late friend’s son—as if he were his own. He dreams of seeing him marry Nathalie (Ottavia Piccolo), the daughter of his second wife, and of him taking over the running of a provincial flying club. However, Sébastien aspires to become a veterinarian, while Nathalie is in love with an American engineer, John (Keith Carradine). To please Antoine, Sébastien agrees to help him drive John away, but their efforts prove futile...
