"Le Grand Balcon" is a family boarding house in Toulouse, managed by Mademoiselle Adeline and caters to pilots from the famous Toulouse-Casablanca Aéropostale (air mail) line. Among them is Gilbert Carbot, the top man in the company, and his right arm man, Fabien. Although Fabien has great admiration for his superior, he is outraged by what he sees as his selfishness and severity. (official distributor synopsis)
