Jean Pierre Lefebrvre directed this Canadian drama, the final film in a trilogy that began in 1967 with Don't Let It Kill You and continued in 1977 with The Old Country Where Rimbaud Died. All three feature Abel Gagne (Marcel Sabourin), a 55-year-old pilot who stopped flying after a friend died in a crash 15 years earlier. Abel and his friend Antoine (Jean-Pierre Ronfard) operate a small Quebec airfield. Acquiring a vintage Tiger Moth biplane, Abel plans to fly once again, but problems arise: a bank will seize his assets if a debt goes unpaid, and his father Napoleon (Claude Blanchard), who deserted the family decades earlier, suddenly turns up, creating friction. Filmed in farmlands south of Montreal.

Abel, a 55-year old pilot, has not flown a plane since the accidental death of his co-pilot and best friend 15 years ago despite his intense passion for aviation. He spends his days running his small aviation company called Arianair with Antoine, his business partner from France. On the fateful day when Abel is determined to fly his one-seater Tiger Moth airplane after his 15-year hiatus, he is interrupted by the arrival of two people: his father Napoleon from Brazil who abandoned him 50 years earlier, and Monique, the daughter of his deceased best friend. On top of that, he receives notice from the bank that they will seize control of his company if he does not pay off its debts. In light of all this, Abel's flight plans have to be put on hold...
