The Flying Machine
Synopsis
The wish to unglue himself from the ground, to rise above it with only the strength oh his muscles, has been one of manâs oldest yearnings yet to come true. The story of the film is a result of the Mayorâs wish to have his Island enter aviation history, and the impotence of the chosen âflyerâ, who in his blind passion for flying doesnât even notice his wifeâs affair with the mailman or the conspiracy of the village big shots, who are ready to sacrifice their neighbour for the dubious distinction of being written of as the first self powered aviator. The church bell, the stake for a successful flight, ends up on the âflyersâ yard since the pilot has kept his word :âI will fly. I will rise, glide through the air, or Iâll never walk the ground again.â
