Carnet de vol, carnet de vie

Jean-Marie Conty is born at the beginning of the century. In some way, he is this century. This film is about someone who travelled along history, about a man searching for men brotherhood. Friend of Saint-Exupéry and Mermoz, friend too of Kessel, Artaud, Malraux ; he tells his intimate life story in a long personal talk. This man is a man to meet once in his life, just because he himself met so many outstanding people who built this century. The film runs along three moments of his life : the Aeropostale adventure with its everyday dangers, political encounters during wartime, and at last, his discovery of post-war theatrical excitement. Three moments where history turns to tale.
