This is the almost timeless struggle that Pablo Agüero depicts in Saint-Ex, an adventure movie with dreamlike overtones...

- CINEUROPA

Discover the true story behind the man who wrote The Little Prince.

In 1930, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Louis Garrel, The Three Musketeers - Milady, AF FFF24), a pilot for Aéropostale, flies too high over Argentina's Andes, crashing into the sea. To his best friend, Henri Guillaumet (Vincent Cassel, The Three Musketeers - Part I & II, AF FFF24), he's just Saint-Ex, getting into trouble again. After being demoted by Aéropostale, which is also planning to lay off half of its radio operators – including Henri’s wife, Noëlle (Diane Kruger) – the two hatch a daring plan to save the business.

But when Henri goes missing over the Cordillera, Argentina's enormous mountain range, will Saint-Ex defy all odds to bring him back?

From French-Argentine director Pablo Agüero and selected for competition at the Namur International French-language Film Festival (FIFF), SAINT-EX tells the true story of defying odds in the name of friendship and loyalty. With sweeping, epic cinematography, this stunning film weaves adventure, brotherhood and ambition into a symbolic journey across Argentina’s mountain ranges.

With high altitudes and high stakes, SAINT-EX is an exhilarating tale of courage, skill, and daring.
