Based on Romain Gary's best-selling autobiographical novel, the famous French writer recounts his childhood in Poland, his adolescence in Nice, his years as a student in Paris and his tough training as a pilot during World War II. Although he owes much of his achievements to the wild love of his eccentric and endearing mother, her unconditional maternal love is also a burden he bears his whole life.
