content

After the young Joëlle Gavarnier has just passed her Abitur, she is drawn to Switzerland, where her mother has lived and worked for many years. There she accepts an invitation from a friend and surprisingly meets her childhood friend Louis, who has become a skydiving instructor. Louis also introduces them to his friend Franck, who also took this route. After Joëlle has watched the friends skydive, she wakes up the desire to stay with them and do the same. Contrary to her father's wishes, she becomes a member of the skydiving club and soon shares the two friends' passion for skydiving. This extreme sport also helps her to reduce inferiority problems. Joëlle now wants to take the path of an art skydiver, although her father would like her to undergo training in his company.

Ignoring the wishes of her parents, Joëlle begins to let his friends train her to be a parachutist. After she became a good skydiver after some initial difficulties, they decide to perform as a trio with Louis and Franck under the name of Luft-Voltigeure . The three quickly achieved great success and are very popular with the public. When Joëlle's father refuses to allow his daughter to make an important appearance, she breaks off contact with him.

Trouble arises when Joëlle falls in love with the newcomer pilot Mike, a handsome experienced man. This love almost destroys the friendship with Louis and Franck. Ultimately, however, Joëlle manages to save both their love and their friendship.
