Why make a film about aviation when there are already many documentaries on the subject?
It's family and blood:
My grandfather already flew in Upper Lusatia, my father owned a flight school here, and I know this region from the cockpit as well.
It's history and stories:
The historical significance of the border triangle should not be underestimated and the stories of the pilots tell events from four German eras: Weimar Republic, Third Reich, GDR and the Federal Republic of today.
It is the common thread: The passion of the pilots of the past and those of today!
"To be a great bird in the sky, a human bird that is carried up by the wind and drawn to the earth! At the same time absurd and light: to be heavy in the weightless air. To have a will that is stronger than the powers; to create a reality that is bolder than that Legends that didn't grant man his wings!" Louis Bleriot, aviation pioneer, 1872-1936
