From childhood in Poland, through adolescence in Nice, to student years in Paris and heavy aviation service during World War II. Eric Barbar's film tells the remarkable story of Romain Gary, the only French novelist who twice won the prestigious Goncourt Prize.

Gary was born in Vilnius as Roman Kacew, then to move with his mother Nina to Warsaw, and from there to Nice. When the war broke out, the hero enlisted in the French armed forces in which he served as a pilot. After the war he began his diplomatic career. Traveling around the world, he repeatedly visited Poland, to which he admitted, as he admitted himself, a special sentiment. In the mid-1940s, he began to write novels under a pseudonym. In total, he published them over 30, as well as many stories and essays. The film is a story about his relationship with his beloved mother - possessive and ambitious, but also an extremely inspiring person who largely created Romain - the writer.

In the role of Kacewa / Gary, he portrayed the unusually popular Pierre Niney ("Frantz", "Love in French") and his mother Nina played the unparalleled Charlotte Gainsbourg. Polish actors such as Katarzyna Skarżanka, Marta Klubowicz and Piotr Cyrwus performed in episodes.
