In 1929, twenty-six years after the man discovered how to fly, comes the new discovery. How to shorten the distances crossing the seas, opening new aerial routes in distant lands. Those were times of courageous and adventurous men.

In the afternoon of October 12, in the harbor of Buenos Aires, Argentina, three pilots waits for their friend that comes from France, together will develop the aerial routes of Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil. The passenger in the ship is a 29 years old man that was in charge of the aerial routes of Western Sahara, who also is a writer. With lyrical prose and the soaring spirit of a philosopher, his literature will be part of the history of aviation and the history of man.

The name of this pilot is Antoine de Saint Exupéry and in this new land he no longer will have to battle Moors and Sandstorms when in Cape Juby, Western Sahara. Thinking he would be piloting the mail in this new land, later he will discover he will be Traffic Chief of Aeroposta Argentina and will open the routes of Patagonia also known as "The Country Where the Stones Fly".

In this new land Saint Exupery will face the most unusual and dramatic situations and some of them like a fairy tail that will be perpetuated for the rest of his life. His experiences, adventures, the people and the scenery will be the inspiration to write Night Flight, different chapters of Wind, Sand and Stars and the foundation of his most significant book, The Little Prince.

In this documentary well find with a subjective vision and revealing original footage, the relations of the reality and fantasy of his literature and his most popular book The Little Prince. Will try to bring to life moments and places, recreating situations in the original locations that were part of Saint Exuperys adventurous life in the history of aviation of the South American country and significant in his literature.

Will be in Buenos Aires of 1930s through original footage and documentation. Patagonia with its strong winds, open areas, hard cliffs and the Andes becomes part of Saint Exupery literature and the drawings in The Little Prince. Isla de los Pajaros in Valdez Peninsula whose silhouette looks like a hat or a boa eating and elephant. A little castle in Concordia, province of Entre Rios, where the writer did not know he was going to live a fairy tail, two girls would be the inspiration for The Little Prince personality, today in the town of Concordia there are a lot of memories of those girls. Volcanoes in Punta Arenas, Chile; that were the inspiration for the asteroid B612. In Manhattan, New York, will review pages of the original manuscript and in a victorian house in Asharoken, Long Island where Saint Exupery made the original drawings and wrote part of The Little Prince in nights fueled by coffee, cigarettes and

coca cola.
