EUROPE IMAGES INTERNATIONAL - M5

Synopsis

At a crossroad between adventure and sport, the Gordon Bennett Cup is a balloon race in which the balloonists are carried along by the winds over thousands of kilometers.
The Gordon Bennett Cup is an international competition. In the world of aeronautics, it is the equivalent of the America’s Cup in the sailing world.
This year, for the third time in a row, two Frenchmen, Vincent and Jean-François Leys, have won the trophy. The cup is theirs. They have fulfilled a childhood dream.
We’ll relive, on the ground or in the air, the great moments of the 3 last competitions. These moments have enabled the Leys brothers to go down in legend.
We’ll see how, from a childhood filled with the masterpieces of Jules Verne to their ultimate victory, they became masters of the winds and tamed the impossible.
