Terre Ferme

Synopsis

Emile is a young boy living on a farm with his mother and Gerard, his father. The child runs himself ragged because his father has plans for him: that he will take over the farm when the time comes, whether he wants to or not.

While repairing a fence at the edge of the field, Emile sees a plane fly overhead and crash into the nearby field. Jacques, the pilot of the plane, barely escapes.

While his parents look after the injured pilot, the young boy takes the opportunity to look at the photos the man has in his handbag. Emile, amazed, is determined to leave with Jacques. But his father has already outlined his destiny for him on the farm. Emile hopes only one thing: to convince the pilot to take him with him!
