Written by the director, the story takes us back to 1930 and centres around Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an Airmail pilot in Argentina. When his best friend who happens to be Airmail’s best pilot Henri Guillaumet disappears in the Andes, Saint-Ex decides to set out in search of him, against all odds. This impossible quest forces him to push beyond his limits, turning his capacity to dream into his greatest strength...

Saint-Ex is produced by Julien Madon and Aimée Buidine on behalf of Cheyenne Fédération, in co-production with A Single Man Productions and Belgium’s Frakas Productions and RTBF. Also pre-purchased by Canal+ and Ciné+, the film also enjoys support from the SOFICA company Sofitvcine.
