Plot

Trebois, a young laborer, is looking for something to occupy his Sundays, "a glorious activity to make the six working days fly by." He's tired of camping with his friends. One day, in the cafeteria, Casti's friend suggested that he join a flying club. After the flight, Trebois decides that he experienced the best moments of his life in the air. By chance, in the hangar, his friends saw an airplane that had been in an accident. Now restoring it and flying again becomes the meaning of his life.
