The film, shot in the winter of 1987 in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier, deals with the subject of sky diving in a humorous light. The cue is given by the rather eventful and exhilarating training of a pupil in the sky diving school who turns out to be somewhat clumsy. In the end, however, he manages to achieve his dream which is to fly high and expertly and, above all, entirely safely.
