In another life they were fighter pilots or mechanics working for Boeing. Then, one day, they decided to make a long-held dream come true: move to Tahiti and fly over one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Stéphane Chantre and Vincent Roux are aerial aces. They set up their flying school eight years ago. They teach aerial acrobatics to visiting tourists and the inhabitants of the island. They also provide air transport to the small, private islands that have no commercial flights.

We fly with Vincent over Tahiti and Moorea as he performs stunts whose secrets are known only to him. Stéphane is coaching him for the next international aerial acrobatics championships. Initiation to flying, dropping parachutists, carrying passengers to the most unlikely of air strips, we discover Vincent’s hectic life spent between looping-the-loop and flighting over the Polynesian lagoons.
