Buenos Aires, September 1930. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, operations manager of Aeroposta Argentina, meets Consuelo Suncín Sandoval, the young Salvadoran widow of the writer Enrique Gómez Carrillo. After a few weeks of living together in Argentina, they choose to marry in France with the aviator's family, but the couple's married life will be a very chaotic journey, despite everything that brings them together - and above all their imaginations. common, populated by stars, small animals and all kinds of treasures. The adventurous "Tonio" expects from his wife constant attention and comfort that her temperament, in love with freedom and endowed with an irreducible fantasy, cannot continuously bring him. But Antoine and Consuelo will never get rid of their alliance, however subject to contradictory polarities. Sacred in their eyes, it will bring them together in the most difficult moments, as far as New York where the writer is exiled between 1941 and 1943. And the reciprocal promise of unconditional love will allow them to endure, not without suffering, distance and anxiety, when the writer's military engagement made them inevitable - until the tragic end of July 1944.These years were also those of the writing of The Little Prince - a fable that illuminates, in giving them its deepest meaning, these letters often heart-wrenching with emotion, where grace and dismay, mistrust and light alternate. A young traveling prince, a rose and his globe: here we are! " Once upon a time, there was a child who had discovered a treasure, "wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in his first letter to Consuelo." But this treasure was too beautiful for a child whose eyes did not understand it well or whose arms did not contain it. . Then the child became melancholy.
